Democratic Mayor Karen Bass of Los Angeles tells CNN's Dana Bash that "people are willing and ready to leave the streets" and "we have destroyed the myth that people choose to be on the streets and that they won't leave."

On CNN's State of the Union, Dana Bash presses Sen. Bernie Sanders about comments by Rep. Ilhan Omar suggesting that some Jewish students are "pro-genocide."

Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders tells CNN's Dana Bash that antisemitic incidents at protests should be condemned but says "we do have to pay attention to the disastrous and unprecedented humanitarian disaster" in Gaza.

The annual dinner, nicknamed “nerd prom,” is hosted by the group of journalists who cover the White House and attended by members of the media, politicians, and celebrities alike.
