President Biden and first lady Jill Biden will attend the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner later this month, the group announced Wednesday, marking the return of an annual Washington tradition despite the persistence of coronavirus cases.

“Every president since Calvin Coolidge has attended the WHCA’s annual dinner … with just one exception,” WHCA President Steven Portnoy tweeted. “The tradition continues next Saturday night.”
