Watch Live: Trump Speaks Tonight at the Alfred E. Smith Dinner in New York City (Oct. 17)

Former President Donald Trump will be in New York City tonight delivering remarks at the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner. In a typical year, it’s traditional for both major party candidates to set aside differences and attend this charity event. However, Vice President Kamala Harris declined the invitation.

Here are the details on Trump’s speech tonight including the live stream and how to watch it online.

As the New York Post reports, Harris’ decision to skip the event may have wider ramifications:

Vice President Kamala Harris announced last month that she would break with tradition and decline her invitation to the event, which raises money for Catholic charities and, in most presidential election years, features collegial remarks from the candidates.

Its noble purposes are twofold: To support good causes and remind Americans of their ability to come together even in times of high-stakes partisan competition.

A Harris campaign official preemptively explained her absence by noting that she would instead spend her time campaigning in a swing state, and it has since been announced that she will spend Thursday crisscrossing Wisconsin.

But her excuse for skipping out on the dinner remains a poor one.

Thanks to the modern miracle of air travel, it would be easy for Harris to spend most of the day pounding the pavement on the campaign trail and make an appearance at the dinner.

And remember: Harris recently carved out the time in her schedule to appear on the raunchy Call Her Daddy podcast, as well as to attend a star-studded fundraiser in Los Angeles.

The choice to spurn the event is just that: A choice.

There’s no reason to alienate voters Harris needs if she hopes to win in November. On the other hand, this is a campaign that has made questionable decisions as of late and looks to be spiraling badly in the remaining weeks.
