The White House Correspondents' Dinner: Red Carpet Arrivals
Briefly

The recent White House Correspondents' Association dinner had a notable absence of big-name celebrity guests compared to previous years, such as during the Biden administration. Notably absent was former President Trump, who chose to attend Pope Francis's funeral instead. The decision to cancel comedian Amber Ruffin's appearance as host aimed to maintain a focus on journalism rather than political divisions, as underscored by association president Eugene Daniels. Attendees included prominent figures like Jason Isaacs, Abby Phillip, and Lynda Carter, emphasizing a diverse representation of media and entertainment.
