The White Home Correspondents’ Dinner and the times main as much as it are an annual social occasion, continuously invitation-only, the place D.C.’s elite in media, journalism and politics collect for a celebration of the press.

The Republican Nationwide Committee (RNC) on Friday informed Fox Information Digital in response, “The fact that Joe Biden is pandering to journalists by threatening their annual ego-stroking elites fest is pathetic and out of touch, but it goes to show that Democrats can’t win on the issues.”
“Biden can spend 2024 vacationing in Delaware and rubbing elbows with East Coast elites all he wants, but President Trump and Republicans will continue to talk about the issues that matter and present solutions to Biden’s failures on everything from the economy to the border,” RNC spokesperson Anna Kelly mentioned.
Trump by no means attended the occasion as president. He held a rally with supporters in 2019 as an alternative and even prohibited his administration officers from attending, in keeping with Reuters. It was canceled in 2020 in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Democrats’ Thursday night assertion criticized Trump for shunning the dinner, arguing it was one other manner Trump was displaying contempt for journalists and the First Modification.
“We hope everyone has a good time this weekend, because if Donald Trump wins in November, this Saturday could also be known as the last White House Correspondents’ Dinner. To state the obvious: Trump is a thin-skinned narcissist who – despite spending seemingly every waking moment glued to his seat consuming cable news – is constantly attacking the free press and unable to handle a little good-natured ribbing,” DNC fast response director Alex Floyd mentioned.
“He skipped the White House Correspondents’ Dinner every single year he was in office because of his deep-seated insecurities and pathetic desperation to be liked by the same people he rails against, and that was before he outright banned members of his administration from attending at all.

“Enjoyable and jokes apart this weekend, Saturday can also be a reminder of what’s at stake with an offended, vengeful Trump on the poll. He could also be a punchline, however he’s additionally a tragic, vindictive wannabe authoritarian who exhibits no respect for the First Amendment – or the Fourth Property.”
The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
The DNC declined to provide additional comment.
