The White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) has made a notable shift this year, inviting historian Ron Chernow to be the host instead of what has traditionally been an entertainer.

The move came after comedian Michelle Wolf’s 2018 speech prompted anger from the right, including Trump, who called the event “an embarrassment to everyone associated with it.”

After the November announcement of Chernow as the 2019 headliner, Trump called the selection a "good first step” and suggested in a tweet that he might attend the event.

So-called comedian Michelle Wolf bombed so badly last year at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner that this year, for the first time in decades, they will have an author instead of a comedian. Good first step in comeback of a dying evening and tradition! Maybe I will go? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 20, 2018

Wolf has called the WHCA “cowards” for not selecting a comedian, adding that “the media is complicit.” The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.

Trump’s consecutive boycotts of the event made him the first sitting president not to attend the WHCA dinner since Ronald Reagan, who sat out the 1981 event while recuperating from an assassination attempt, according to NPR.
