Maria Bartiromo on Kamala skipping the Al Smith dinner: It’s in step with what she’s been doing: skipping interviews, skipping press conferences. She still has yet to articulate an actual policy plan, and that Oprah interview? Wow. I can’t believe she gets away with it.

Watch Trump’s hilarious 2016 appearance.
President Trump attended the dinner during both presidential runs in 2016 and 2017. This is the first time a presidential candidate has skipped the event since 1984 when Democrat candidate Walter Mondale opted out.

Since 1945, politicians have attended the Al Smith Dinner to trade good-natured barbs and raise money for Catholic charities. By 1960, the event became an important tradition for presidential candidates as it is often the last event at which the two major party presidential candidates share a stage before the election day. The candidates and speakers take part in some mild roasting, which requires at least a little bit of thick skin and a dose of deprecation, something the Kamala Harris does not seem to possess. She seems capable of only putting herself into situations with adoring interviewers and highly controlled situations. According to AP, Kamala Harris has declined an invitation to the event.
