  • The White House Correspondents' Association has dropped plans to feature a comedian at its April 26 dinner. Amber Ruffin had been announced as the featured entertainer.

The White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) has decided not to feature comedian Amber Ruffin at its upcoming annual dinner, reversing an earlier plan to have her perform. This decision was influenced by the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, leading the WHCA to opt for a more subdued event. Instead of Ruffin's comedic routine, the dinner will now focus on a serious tone with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris delivering remarks, and the event will also honor journalists who have been killed or imprisoned. The dinner, traditionally a light-hearted gathering, will this year reflect the gravity of current global issues, with the association choosing to forgo the usual humor to acknowledge the somber mood.
