President Joe Biden is scheduled to attend the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner, where he will address journalists from various networks. The president, along with Vice President Kamala Harris, will speak to around 2,700 attendees at the dinner. This event marks the first in-person correspondents’ dinner in two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The dinner is being hosted by Colin Jost from Saturday Night Live, who has used his platform to mock President Biden for his age. Despite this, the president will take the stage at 10 p.m. to share his remarks. The event has a long history, dating back to 1921, and this year’s gathering will be the 101st in its history.
It is worth noting that this event provides an opportunity for the president to interact with members of the media and share his perspective, but the conservative viewpoint may be underrepresented in the audience and with the host’s comedic take on current events. As such, President Biden’s speech may primarily be received by a more liberal-leaning audience at the correspondents’ dinner.
