Bloomberg cancels WHCA dinner afterparty

[HAB911]

Bloomberg L.P., host of the premier afterparty for the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, will not host an event this year, Axios has learned.

Planners for events surrounding the April 29 scholarship dinner, Washington's equivalent of Oscars night, have been beset with uncertainty because of Trump administration attacks on the press. But news organizations' strong interest in tickets for the 103rd annual dinner suggests that the night will remain sold out, as always.

1. What comedian will want to perform this year?

Given that Trump will probably want to approve their routine. Then there's Trump himself; he is horrifically bad at telling jokes. Who wants to see that?

2. Go ahead and underline that word 'horrifically'

3. They might be buying tickets to support the organization and its scholarship program,

without necessarily planning to attend.
