“[T]he WHCA board has unanimously decided we are no longer featuring a comedic performance this year. At this consequential moment for journalism, I want to ensure the focus is not on the politics of division but entirely on awarding our colleagues for their outstanding work and providing scholarship and mentorship to the next generation of journalists,” WHCA President Eugene Daniels said. 

“For the past couple of weeks, I have been planning a re-envisioning of our dinner tradition for this year,” Daniels added. “As the date nears, I will share more details of the plans in place to honor journalistic excellence and a robust, independent media covering the most powerful office in the world.” 

The announcement about next month’s dinner comes after White House deputy chief of staff Taylor Budowich blasted the association for featuring the anti-Trump comedian.
