She is Expected to Attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinners

The First Lady is expected to attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, an event held for celebrities and journalists. A comedian usually hosts, and the President chimes in with some jokes of his own. The purpose of the event is to “salute the First Amendment” and honor award-winning journalism. The first Correspondents’ Dinner was held in 1921. First Lady Melania Trump broke this unspoken rule, as her and President Trump did not attend this event during the Trump administration.
