Trump and Harris Exchange Barbs as U.S. Election Nears

With less than three weeks before the U.S. presidential election, the Al Smith charity dinner, usually known for light-hearted banter, took on a more serious tone. Donald Trump, accompanied by his wife Melania, delivered a speech reminiscent of a rally, with pointed criticism of his opponent Kamala Harris, while still including some self-deprecating jokes. Harris opted to skip the event for a major campaign commitment, sending a video message instead. The dinner traditionally serves to raise funds for women and children in need.
