The White House correspondents' dinner returned Saturday night after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. President Biden delivered remarks, marking the first time in six years the sitting president attended the event as former President Trump did not attend while he was in office.
"Just imagine if my predecessor came to this dinner this year, now that would have been a real coup if that occurred," Mr. Biden said during his remarks.
Mr. Biden concluded his remarks on a serious note, saying "With disinformation massively on the rise, where the truth is buried by lies and the lies live on as truth, what's clear, and I mean this from the bottom of my heart, that you the free press, matter more than you ever did in the last century."
