On Biden's order, flags in the United States will be lowered in memory of the late Senator Bob Dole

US President Joe Biden has ordered flags to be lowered on government buildings in the country in memory of Republican Senator and US presidential candidate in the 1996 elections, Bob Dawley (Robert Joseph Dawley), who passed away at the age of 98. As "Armenpress" informs, this was stated in the message that was distributed by the press service of the White House on December 5. US flags will be flown at half-mast on government buildings, including the White House, as well as all embassies, military bases and ships. Robert Dole represented the state of Kansas in the United States Senate for 27 years, from 1969 to 1996, and before that he was a member of the House of Representatives for eight years. In the 1996 presidential election, he was the Republican candidate, but lost to Democrat Bill Clinton, who was re-elected for a second term. As Reuters reports, Dole announced in February that he was diagnosed with lung cancer.
