US Election 2024: Donald Trump’s sharp jokes and barbs at Al Smith Dinner target Kamala Harris and her absence

Former President Donald Trump headlined the annual Al Smith dinner, a prominent Catholic charity event in New York, on Thursday night, using the occasion to launch a series of jabs at various political figures, including “absent” Vice President Kamala Harris.

Trump’s address, which drew both laughter and groans from the white-tie audience at the 79th annual gathering, included a joke about the breakup of Harris’s husband Douglas Emhoff’s first marriage.
