The annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner returned Saturday with President Joe Biden as the first president in six years to accept an invitation.
Biden took the opportunity to make light of the criticism he has faced in his 18 months in office and take aim at Donald Trump, the Republican Party and the members of the press.
"Just imagine if my predecessor came to this dinner this year," Biden told an audience of 2,600, among them journalists, government officials and celebrities. "Now that would really have been a real coup."
Trevor Noah, host of “The Daily Show,” hosted the event and spoke after Biden. Celebrities including Kim Kardashian, Brooke Shields, Caitlyn Jenner and Pete Davidson were also in attendance, while Vice President Kamala Harris stayed home after testing positive for COVID-19 earlier this week.
