Although former President Donald Trump skipped the annual dinner during his term, the association suggested that President Joe Biden will be there.

The event, the association said in a press release, will โ€œoffer the first opportunity since 2016 for the press and the president to share a few laughs for a good cause.โ€

The dinner is normally attended by prominent journalists, politicians and celebrities, and it raises money for scholarships.
