Weijia Jiang, WHCA president and CBS News\u2019 Senior White House Correspondent, announced earlier Tuesday that the association decided to hold a rescheduled dinner on July 24 in a press release obtained by the Daily Caller. Trump said he will attend the event and added that it will be held at the Waldorf Astoria in a Truth Social post. Shots rang out during the original April 25 dinner while guests were eating dinner. The Secret Service swiftly rushed Trump and other senior administration officials out of the room.<\/p>

Jiang noted that the \u201cmore intimate gathering\u201d will include \u201csignificantly enhanced safety measures and new access procedures.\u201d (RELATED: \u2018I Fought Like Hell To Stay\u2019: Trump Addresses Assassination Attempt At White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner)<\/strong><\/p>

Trump praised the WHCA\u2019s decision on Truth Social. \u201cIn a sign of strength and fortitude, it was just announced that The White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner, which violently ended rather abruptly on April 25th, will be rescheduled to July 24th. This announcement is a very good thing in that we cannot allow Lunatics to change our way of life, or even its scheduling. I was asked to be there, and speak, by Weijia Jiang, President of The White House Correspondents\u2019 Association, and have accepted,\u201d Trump wrote.<\/p>

Over 2,000 reporters and government officials attended the April 25 dinner, according to ABC News.<\/p>

Kennedy, Boston Globe DC Bureau Chief Jackie Kucinich (redhead), and Shadow US Senator DC Paul Strauss hide under tables after an incident at the annual White House Correspondents Association Dinner April 25, 2026 in Washington, DC. According to reports, President Donald Trump, along with other government officials, was evacuated from the Washington Hilton after what sounded like gunfire.

Federal prosecutors charged Cole Thomas Allen on May 5 with attempting to assassinate the U.S. president in connection with the incident. The Department of Justice alleged that he charged through a security blockade armed with a shotgun and other weapons in an attempt to reach the ballroom where the event was held. One Secret Service officer was injured during the alleged attempt to assassinate Trump. Prosecutors also charged him with assaulting a U.S. officer and other charges.<\/p>

\u201cRescheduling was not automatic,\u201d Jiang noted in the Tuesday announcement. \u201cIt was a choice that the WHCA board made after thoughtful consideration and input from our members.\u201d<\/p>

The rescheduled dinner will be \u201ca statement that violence has no place in American life and a free press will not be intimidated into silence,\u201d Jiang said.<\/p>

\u201cThe White House Correspondents\u2019 Dinner has served as a celebration of a free press and the vital role of journalism in our democracy for over a century. When gunfire interrupted this year\u2019s event, it further clarified the WHCA\u2019s mission to advocate for the freedoms that are protected in the First Amendment. We will not allow an act of violence to have the last word, especially during a year when we are reflecting on the 250th anniversary of America and everything we stand for,\u201d the announcement said.<\/p>

Several attendees of the dinner later alleged that security at the dinner was unusually lax. The alleged would-be assassin\u2019s manifesto claimed he had visited the hotel the day prior and was met with \u201cno damn security\u201d despite carrying \u201cmultiple weapons,\u201d the New York Post reported.<\/p>

The WHCA announcement Tuesday thanked \u201cthe US Secret Service, law enforcement and the hotel staff whose swift response protected our guests and our staff.\u201d<\/p>

The WHCA did not respond immediately to the Daily Caller\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>

Editor\u2019s note: Article updated to include President Donald Trump\u2019s statement saying he will attend the event.<\/em><\/p>
