Closer to home, Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign has announced that she will not attend next month’s Al Smith Charity Dinner in Manhattan.
Instead, the Democratic presidential candidate will be campaigning in a battleground state on October 17th, three weeks before the election.
Her opponent, former President Donald Trump, is expected to attend the historic Catholic fundraiser.
The gathering is sold out, with an estimated 1,500 guests attending the black-tie affair.
The event is named after New York Governor Al Smith, the first Catholic presidential nominee for a major party, who lost to Republican Herbert Hoover in 1928.
