The GOP is blasting President Biden\u2019s campaign over an \u2018out-of-touch\u2019 memo warning that former President Trump\u2019s re-election could mean the end of one of Washington\u2019s most glamorous traditions.<\/p>\n

The White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner and the days leading up to it are an annual social event, frequently invitation-only, where D.C.\u2019s elite in media, journalism and politics gather for a celebration of the press.<\/p>\n

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) warned Thursday evening that Trump returning to the White House could put a stop to the festivities.<\/p>\n

The Republican National Committee (RNC) on Friday told Fox News Digital in response, \u2018The fact that Joe Biden is pandering to journalists by threatening their annual ego-stroking elites fest is pathetic and out of touch, but it goes to show that Democrats can\u2019t win on the issues.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Biden can spend 2024 vacationing in Delaware\u00a0and rubbing elbows with East Coast elites\u00a0all he wants, but President Trump and Republicans will continue to talk about the issues that matter and present solutions to Biden\u2019s failures on everything from the economy to the border,\u2019 RNC spokesperson Anna Kelly said.<\/p>\n

Trump never attended the event as president. He held a rally with supporters in 2019 instead and even prohibited his administration officials from attending, according to Reuters. It was canceled in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Democrats\u2019 Thursday evening statement criticized Trump for shunning the dinner, arguing it was another way Trump was showing contempt for journalists and the First Amendment.<\/p>\n

\u2018We hope everyone has a good time this weekend, because if Donald Trump wins in November, this Saturday could also be known as the last White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner. To state the obvious: Trump is a thin-skinned narcissist who \u2013 despite spending seemingly every waking moment glued to his seat consuming cable news \u2013 is constantly attacking the free press and unable to handle a little good-natured ribbing,\u2019 DNC rapid response director Alex Floyd said.<\/p>\n

\u2018He skipped the White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner every single year he was in office because of his deep-seated insecurities and pathetic desperation to be liked by the same people he rails against, and that was before he outright banned members of his administration from attending at all.<\/p>\n

\u2018Fun and jokes aside this weekend, Saturday is also a reminder of what\u2019s at stake with an angry, vengeful Trump on the ballot. He may be a punchline, but he is also a sad, vindictive wannabe authoritarian who shows no respect for the First Amendment \u2013 or the Fourth Estate.\u2019<\/p>\n

The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

The DNC declined to provide additional comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
