President Joe Biden will deliver the first tribute at Madeleine Albright's funeral.
Biden became the ranking member on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1997, shortly before Albright became secretary of state, nominated as the first woman to be America's top diplomat by President Clinton. Hillary Clinton was first lady during Albright's tenure and they became close friends.
Former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, former Vice President Al Gore, and former Secretaries of State John Kerry and Condoleezza Rice are expected to attend the memorial service. Congressional leaders who are expected to attend include House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
