Biden Plans to Go to Correspondents Dinner Despite COVID Cases All Around Him

The latest high-profile diagnosis is White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield, who announced on social media that she had tested positive for COVID, and had not seen the president since a socially distanced, masked meeting on Wednesday. President Biden is still slated to attend the White House Correspondents Dinner this weekend, which is raising some eyebrows after the reemergence of superspreader events.
