President Joe Biden promised to free Americans unjustly held overseas — including Evan Gershkovich, the Wall Street Journal reporter arrested last month in Moscow — during his remarks at the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday.

While Biden spent much of his speech cracking jokes, he began on a serious note, telling hundreds of journalists in the crowd his commitment to bring home wrongfully detained journalists and other Americans.
During his speech, Biden addressed Gershkovich’s family directly, who was in the crowd at the dinner: “We all stand with you,” to roaring applause.
