GOP Rep. Liz Cheney has a cordial relationship with Joe Biden, who recently called her after she lost her primary race.
Biden made time to do the favor despite being on vacation in Delaware. He likely phoned Cheney before heading out to golf, sources say.
Back in April, Cheney was seen fist-bumping Biden as he arrived for his State of the Union speech at the Capitol.
This fist-bump angered Wyoming voters who later showed up at the polls to remove her from office.

Cheney lost to primary challenger Harriet Hageman by 37 points. The details of the call between Biden and Cheney were not revealed.
It’s speculated that Biden likely expressed support for Cheney who has sided with Democrats on the January 6th committee. Cheney has also turned on President Donald Trump and even voted for his impeachment.
More on this story via Breitbart:
In her concession speech Tuesday in Jackson Hole, WY, Cheney made it clear she would continue to fight former President Donald Trump.
“I have said since January 6, that I will do whatever it takes to make sure Donald Trump is never again anywhere near the Oval Office,” she said, promising, “our work is far from over.”
Biden has a pattern of keeping Republicans who have turned on Trump close, thanking them for standing with Democrats against the former president.
He repeatedly praised Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) after Romney voted to impeach Trump, describing him as “a fine guy.”
“The fact is that I do think that Mitt is a serious guy,” he said in February. “I think we can get things done.”
