Reporters cheered after President Biden acknowledged his re-election announcement during his remarks at the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday.
"Yeah I know, I just announced my re-election campaign," Biden said, as the audience loudly cheered.
"Some of you scooped that I'd announce in a video, but you really all thought in your heart that I'd just blurt it out, didn't you?" he added, as reporters laughed.
"Bias? A non-adversarial relationship, not what you would hope in objective coverage?" questioned ‘Fox & Friends Weekend' co-host Will Cain.
"This is one of those moments where you just play the what-if-Donald-Trump? game and the room would be silent, or full of boos," said co-host Pete Hegseth, who remarked that the White House Correspondents' Dinner has turned into a "giant lovefest" for the Democratic Party and the establishment inside D.C.
During his speech at the dinner, the president also addressed and joked about concerns over his age.
"I get that age is a completely reasonable issue, it's on everybody's mind, by everyone I mean The New York Times," Biden said. "Headline: Biden's advanced age is a big issue, Trump's, however, is not."
"Call me old; I call it being seasoned. You say I am ancient, I say I'm wise," the president continued.
He also seemed to joke about often avoiding questions from the press.
"In a lot of ways, this dinner sums up my first two years in office: I’ll talk for 10 minutes, take zero questions and cheerfully walk away," the president said as reporters clapped and cheered.
