PHOENIX (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris will skip this year’s Al Smith charity dinner in New York, breaking with presidential tradition so she can campaign instead in a battleground state less than three weeks before Election Day.

The dinner benefitting Catholic Charities traditionally has been used to promote collegiality and good humor, with presidential candidates from both parties appearing on the same night and trading barbs.

Harris has zero interest in benefitting Catholic Charities.

We are moving toward no primaries or no campaigns, just a choice between voting D or R.

Smart move on her part. Eating salads and throwing out word salads are not good ideas. Trump would embarrass her.

Has there been an Al Smith dinner since 2016?

Candidate Trump DESTROYED Hillary, and she just had to sit there and take it, LOL.

Well, “Catholic Charities” are one of the driving forces bringing migrants to towns all over our country. They need to be shut down, prosecuted and the Catholic Church sued for irreparable harm to our country. And the Marxist pope needs to be relieved of his antiChrist duties.

Hillary couldn't compete with Trump or with Maria Bartiromo's boobs.

I played this video of this Al Smith dinner on my birthday, July 13 during a dinner party my sister gave for me. The part where Trump talks about how Hillary has taken a number of villages and gets booed like crazy - then he says ‘Thaaaaank you’ in this FU tone of voice always makes me scream with laughter. The man gives zero Fs about these enablers and the criminals among them.

Less than thirty minutes later, I got a call about the assassination attempt.

Dems are violent and evil. And stupid.

How can Harris honor Al Smith? Al Smith did not support abortion.

Understandable why Commie-Law isn't coming. She has neither collegiality nor a sense of humor.

Smart move. No upside for her. She is relentlessly focused on winning, and does not want to get distracted by low ROI causes. Admirable discipline.

I remember Maria Bartiromo’s delicious cleavage from that year.
