Amber Ruffin to Host White House Correspondents' Dinner, Says 'No One Wants' Trump to Attend

The comedian, known for her sharp humor, expressed doubts about President Trump's attendance at the April event, a tradition he skipped during his first term.

Amber Ruffin, comedian and writer for 'Late Night with Seth Meyers,' has been announced as the host of the 2025 White House Correspondents' Dinner on April 26.
In an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, Ruffin stated that 'no one wants' President Trump to attend the event, though she acknowledged it would be 'something to do.'
The White House has not confirmed whether Trump will attend, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt saying the decision has not yet been made.
Ruffin plans to bring her signature style of humor to the event, focusing on honesty and personal perspective rather than balancing critiques evenly across political lines.
The dinner, a longstanding Washington tradition, serves as a fundraiser for journalism scholarships and a celebration of the freedom of the press.
