President Biden took a jab at his predecessor, Donald Trump, during the annual White House Correspondents’ Association party. The event took place at the Washington Hilton hotel in Washington, DC and was attended by hundreds of journalists, politicians, and celebrities.
During the dinner, Biden criticized Trump for being unsupportive of him during his election campaign. In contrast to Pence’s lack of support for Trump, Biden highlighted his Vice President’s support for him. Trump responded to Biden’s comments by calling him a “disaster” on social media platform Truth Social.
Meanwhile, protesters gathered outside the hotel to criticize the Biden administration’s support for Israel in the Gaza conflict. They urged journalists to boycott the event. Despite these protests, Biden was able to enter the hotel through the back entrance without encountering the large crowd.
The White House Correspondents’ Association has been holding this annual dinner since 1914 as a way to honor journalists covering the president and raise money for scholarships. The night was not without controversy as protesters and security concerns surrounded the event. President Biden’s comments and reactions from various parties made headlines in the media.
