The 2026 White House Correspondents' Dinner was disrupted on April 25 when a gunman rushed the security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton, prompting Secret Service agents to evacuate President Trump and other officials from the ballroom. The event was effectively canceled for the evening, but Trump declared from the stage before departing that it would be rescheduled within 30 days, naming May 25 as the outer date. As of the May 5 resolution window, no official cancellation had been issued; the White House Correspondents' Association president Weijia Jiang of CBS confirmed the board was in active discussions about rescheduling. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin indicated the rescheduled event likely would not return to the same venue. The dinner remained in a postponed-but-not-canceled state, meaning the question's specific criterion—official cancellation with no reschedule—was not met. The community was split, with 41% expecting a formal cancellation, but the outcome was no.
