WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden celebrated artists including Bette Midler, Joni Mitchell and Lorne Michaels on Sunday at the Kennedy Center Honors, bringing back presidential participation to an annual event skipped by Republican Donald Trump.
Trump did not hold such a reception during his four years in office and did not attend the show at the Kennedy Center. "It is quite nice, very nice, to see the presidential box once again being occupied," comedian David Letterman said at the beginning of the show. The crowd rose in a standing ovation.
Diaz, a bass-baritone opera singer from Puerto Rico, was celebrated with performances from "Carmen" and "Faust."
