WASHINGTON (AP) — For the second straight year, President Donald Trump is holding a rally instead of attending the White House Correspondents Dinner.
The president’s campaign announced Trump will hold a rally on April 28 in Washington Township in Macomb County.
The event is slated to begin around the same time as the gala inWashington, D.C.
Trump has skipped the dinner both years he has been in office. But this year, unlike in 2017, he has encouraged aides to attend. Some, however, will be needed to staff the just-announced rally.
Last year, Trump held a rally in Pennsylvania, and spent much of the evening bashing the press, saying he was "with much, much better people" at the rally.
