As Washington prepares for its first White House Correspondents' Association dinner in three years, President JoeBiden's plans for the event may constitute yet another bout of mixed messaging when it comes to COVID-19.
White House officials have changed their plans for the celebrity-studded event over the past few days, with some attending, some staying home, and some saying they'll wear masks. Biden himself will be there but not for the actual dinner.The conflicting messages have Biden critics calling foul.
"I would expect that he may wear a mask when he's not speaking," Psaki said."I'll wear a mask when I'm at the dinner, in all likelihood." The sometimes-contradictory nature of the messages around the dinner reflects the reality that many people are making different risk assessments when it comes to the virus, argues Glen Nowak, formerly the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's communications director.
Voters look to politicians for leadership, Nowak added, and their actions can matter just as much or more than their words.
