At the century-old event, often referred to as Washington’s “nerd prom,” hundreds of journalists, politicians and celebrities rubbed elbows in a massive hotel banquet hall. It often features friendly jabs from the president in a closing speech that takes aim at reporters and other guests in the audience.“I’m sincerely not asking you to take sides. I’m asking you to rise up to the seriousness of the moment.
Kelly O’Donnell, president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, declined to comment on security measures for the dinner.
