PHOTOS: Bob Dole lies in state at US Capitol

Bob Dole lay in state Thursday at the U.S. Capitol, where President Joe Biden and other leaders paid tribute to the longtime Republican leader.

Dole, a World War II veteran who served in Congress for 36 years and was the GOP presidential nominee in 1996, died Sunday at the age of 98. He announced in February a diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer.

His funeral will be held Friday at the Washington National Cathedral and will be livestreamed at the World War II Memorial, whose creation Dole spearheaded.
