WASHINGTON, D.C.—This year's White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) Dinner once again brought together high-profile politicians, journalists, and celebrities to raise money for WHCA scholarships and honor recipients of the WHCA's journalism awards. Comedian and Saturday Night Live player Colin Jost headlined the evening on April 27.
Although the war in Gaza spurred protests outside the Washington Hilton, where the dinner took place, President Joe Biden's speech did not mention the war; his remarks focused on jabs at Donald Trump and the upcoming presidential election.
In the lead-up to the main event, the weekend was filled with parties and programming hosted by major news outlets and media companies including CNN, The Wall Street Journal, and Axios.
