Patrick Semansky / AP After a two-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the White House correspondents’ dinner returned in full force on Saturday night. During his comic comments, President Joe Biden blasted his predecessor, while also joking about the press, the GOP, and the continued existence of the event as a whole. This was Biden’s first appearance at the Washington event with a large attendance since taking office, and also the first time a US president has attended a dinner in six years. The White House Correspondents’ Association, which hosts the annual Black Tie event, honored several journalists for their contributions, and the program of the event was titled “Daily Show” presenter Trevor Noah.
