US President Joe Biden is set to make jokes and be the target of them at the White House Correspondents' Dinner this Saturday. The event is expected to be the largest social gathering in Washington, D.C. since the pandemic. It is where political and media elites observe their truce for a few hours as they share a meal and laughs. The dinner is meant to celebrate the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech and the free press. It is an opportunity for a prominent comedian to perform, with Roy Wood Jr. of "The Daily Show" taking the stage this year. However, the jokes tend to steal the headlines. This year's dinner is expected to be especially significant as it marks the restoration of the tradition of having both the president and vice president in attendance since 2016. As the last dinner before Donald Trump entered the White House had both the President and Vice President in attendance. With Vice President Kamala Harris joining Biden on stage, many guests are expected to attend. White House Correspondents Association President Tamara Keith says hundreds of people have already been turned away due to sold-out tickets.
