How to Watch Joe Biden's 2024 White House Correspondents' Dinner Speech

President Joe Biden is slated to deliver remarks at the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner on Saturday before a crowd of journalists, celebrities and politicians as protesters have vowed to gather outside the event.

Entertainer Colin Jost, known for his role on Saturday Night Live, is also expected to deliver humorous jabs at the president and other politicians during the annual event at the Washington Hilton in Washington D.C.

The WHCA hosts the black-tie event that usually features the sitting president and popular comedians mocking politicians and current events. In previous years, Biden has used the dinner to mock his political rivals, notably former President Donald Trump.

The dinner will air online on C-SPAN’s website beginning at 8 p.m. EST and can also be viewed on C-SPAN’s YouTube channel as well C-SPAN’s TV channel.

Outside the dinner site, protesters have pledged to rally against Israel continuing its war in Gaza. The conflict began after the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched an attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, that left 1,200 people dead and saw over 200 more taken hostage. In the nearly seven months of war, the Palestinian death toll has surpassed 34,000, with more than 76,000 wounded, according to the Associated Press, per the Gaza Health Ministry. While the Hamas-run ministry does not differentiate between combatants and civilians in their count, it says at least two-thirds have been children and women.

The staggering number of Palestinian deaths has ignited international criticism that has led to protests across the globe.
