The White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) announced Tuesday that the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner, which was interrupted by an assassination attempt on President Donald Trump, has been rescheduled for July 24.

WHCA President Weijia Jiang stated, "We will not allow an act of violence to have the last word." According to Fox News, the rescheduled dinner will feature significantly enhanced security measures. The incident occurred during the annual gathering, which brings together journalists, politicians, and celebrities.
