It's no longer a “nerd's prom” for a while. Once a popular subject of jokes about bad fashion (as well as the evening's featured comedian hosts), the White House Correspondents' Association dinner has in recent years become a much less raucous, multi-day follow-up to the Met Gala. It turned into a more solid prelude. later. This is quite appropriate given the context in which journalists are imprisoned around the world.

It's no wonder that bets were placed on whether Sen. John Fetterman, a guest on NewsNation with his wife Gisele, would show up in a black-tie hoodie or a real tuxedo. No (last year he wore sneakers but opted for a tuxedo). Answer: He wore a trompe l'oeil white tie hoodie and black basketball shorts, and now he's one better. Also, whether Lara Trump, sitting with Politico, will represent the glory of MAGA.
