Al Smith Dinner - Hilton Midtown, New York City, NY (Oct. 17, 2024)

Confirmed in attendance: Donald J. Trump;

Host: Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archdiocese

of New York;

Emcee in 2024 is Jim Gaffigan, stand-up comedian;

Declined invitation: Kamala Harris;

She is happy to accept the 2025 annual

dinner invitation if she is elected POTUS.

Other notable candidates who declined were

Walter Mondale (1984),

both Bill Clinton & Bob Dole (1996),

neither of whom were invited.

Both Hillary Clinton & Trump attended in 2016

where the real estate magnate/investor insulted his

opponent and made vicious remarks for all to hear.

IN 2020

Joseph R. Biden made a zoom appearance with

casual, faith-based comments in his dinner address.

The candidate Al Smith in 1928 was the first

to be nominated for POTUS as a practicing R. Catholic.
