Both Trump and Harris delivered mixed performances at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, with Trump stumbling through his remarks and Harris appearing via video.
Trump seemed most energized when he deviated from his script, oscillating between being an insult comic and simply being insulting, which may have cost him laughs.
Harris’s absence robbed the event of electricity, leading both Trump and Jim Gaffigan to mock her for not attending, which added to the tension.
While Harris missed the dinner, history shows several candidates previously skipped the event, such as Mondale in 1984 and others in the years following.
