US Elections 2024 LIVE: Trump Knocks Harris, Signals Support for Adams at NY Charity Gala

US Elections 2024 LIVE: Trump Knocks Harris, Signals Support for Adams at NY Charity Gala Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump made digs at his opponent Democrat Kamala Harris and embattled New York Mayor Eric Adams while touching upon his own legal troubles in a speech at a charity gala on Thursday (October 17). The annual Al Smith dinner, which benefits Catholic charities, is a New York bipartisan tradition that attracts the city's elite and extends back almost 80 years. In the past it has been known for being an evening when candidates could gently mock themselves and their opponents. Harris was the first major party presidential candidate since Democrat Walter Mondale in 1984 to skip the event. Instead, the vice president campaigned in Wisconsin, a crucial battleground state. Trump spoke against Harris' no-show and noted that Mondale was trounced by Republican Ronald Reagan in the 1984 presidential contest. Harris addressed the crowd in a pre-recorded video, saying: "In the spirit of tonight's dinner, let us recommit to reaching across divides, to seek understanding and common ground." --- US | Elections | Donald Trump | Kamala Harris | New York | Democrat | Republican | Eric Adams | Wisconsin | Ronald Reagan | Firstpost | News Live | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | News | Trending News #usa #elections #trump #kamalaharris #newyork #democrat #republican #wisconsin #ronaldreagan #firstpost #newslive #worldnews #latestnews #globalnews #news #internationalnews #trendingnews Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
