Trump Delivers Speech at Rescheduled White House Correspondents' Dinner After April ShootingPreviousNext

The White House Correspondents' Dinner was rescheduled to July 24 at the Waldorf Astoria after a shooting disrupted the original April event at the Washington Hilton. President Donald Trump attended and delivered a speech mixing humor, criticism of the media, and references to the shooting, while First Lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio did not attend due to scheduling conflicts. The event featured heightened security and honored journalists, including those critical of the administration. Trump joked about a possible third term but clarified it was in jest.
