As the main speaker at the annual Al Smith charity dinner in New York on Thursday, former President Donald Trump delivered a scathing and even caustic speech against Vice President Kamala Harris and other Democrats.
As she campaigned in Wisconsin, Trump frequently chastised Harris for breaking presidential tradition by skipping the event, in comments that frequently seemed more like a rally performance than a comedic routine.
Al Smith charity dinner
In addition to raising millions of dollars for Catholic charities, the white-tie dinner has historically given politicians from both parties the opportunity to joke around, make light of themselves, and demonstrate that they can get along—or at least appear to—for a single evening during the final stages of the election.
Before traveling to highly Democratic New York, Harris’ campaign had previously stated that they wanted her to spend as much time as possible campaigning in the battleground states that will determine the outcome of the election, with less than three weeks until Election Day. If she wins, her team has informed organizers that she would be happy to attend the event in her capacity as president.
Melania Trump joined the Al Smith charity dinner
Trump’s wife, Melania, who hasn’t been on the campaign road much, joined him at the Al Smith charity dinner. A variety of Trump supporters and opponents with different entanglements were on the dais. Among them was Letitia James, the attorney general of New York, who successfully sued Trump and his company for civil fraud.
The bothered mayor of New York, Eric Adams, alongside other high-rating city officials, company executives, and media and sports activities figures, had been additionally present. Adams became accused ultimate month of taking illicit marketing campaign donations and expensive global travel from Turkish officials and entrepreneurs; Trump made common references to this situation.
Trump’s Statement in the dinner
Trump’s tone was similar to his 2016 performance, when he was joined by Hillary Clinton, his Democratic opponent, and gave a particularly vile speech in which he referred to her as “corrupt.”
In a statement, the Harris campaign said that Trump’s address will serve as a reminder to “Americans how unstable he’s become.”
