The events surrounding this year’s dinner will be a lot less glitzy and a lot more D.C.
Hundreds attend the White House correspondents' dinner in 2017 at the Washington Hilton Hotel.
There’s no official word from the White House on whether Trump will skip the dinner for the third year in a row — and the clock is ticking on the president’s RSVP deadline because of security concerns. But there’s still time for the tweeter in chief to announce a pit stop at the Hilton on a hot Saturday night.
“It just doesn’t make advocacy sense,” said Robin Bronk, the group’s CEO. “We love and support everything that the correspondents’ dinner stands for.” In the past, the UTA party was the most packed with actual famous people and not just famous-for-Washington folks. If you can snag an invite this year, expect to see former politicians turned talking heads and the entire cast of CNN, MSNBC and maybe even Fox News.
On Saturday, the traditional pre-dinner cocktail parties hosted by media organizations will turn the hallways of the Washington Hilton into a crush of dinner attendees looking to pregame before the big event .
