Biden set to deliver remarks at White House Correspondents' dinner
President Joe Biden is set to attend the White House Correspondents' dinner tonight, marking his first appearance at the widely attended Washington event since taking office.
Tonight's dinner, which will take place inside the Washington Hilton and host more than 2,500 guests, returns in full force after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic.
The event's program will be headlined by "Daily Show" host Trevor Noah and will feature Biden delivering comedic remarks. The White House Correspondents Association, which hosts the annual black tie event, will honor several journalists for their contributions.
Biden's appearance will be the first time a US president has attended the dinner in six years

Re: Biden set to deliver remarks at White House Correspondents' dinner
President Joe Biden took a dig at his predecessor Saturday at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, while also joking about the press, the GOP and the continued existence of the event altogether.
"I'm really excited to be here tonight with the only group of Americans with a lower approval rating than I have," Biden said during his initial comments.
"We had a horrible plague followed by two years of Covid," he said. "Just imagine if my predecessor came to this dinner this year, now that would really have been a real coup if that occurred."
The event marked Biden's first appearance at the widely attended Washington event since taking office.
As the first President to address the dinner's attendees in six years, he stressed his support for democracy and the free press.

Trevor Noah killed it at the White House Correspondents' Dinner last night. He's so smart and quick-witted and he got a standing ovation at the end. Plus, he's a cutie!
