20:39Now PlayingPresident Biden is hosting a ceremony Thursday evening where he will award 20 individuals with the Presidential Citizens Medal.
Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) — who has become a vocal critic of President-elect Trump since the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol — is among those expected to be honored. Other likely recipients include Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), who chaired the House Jan. 6 panel, former Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) and former Sen. Ted Kaufman (D-Del.).
The award comes as Biden has spoken with his team about potential pardons for Cheney and other Trump critics to protect them against potential politically motivated charges when the president-elect returns to the Oval Office later this month. Democrats have been divided on their support for such a move.
The ceremony at the White House is expected to begin at 5 p.m. EST.
