With less than three weeks left for the US presidential elections, a charity dinner that has historically been about good-natured ribbing turned out to be not an entirely jokey affair.
Donald Trump made an appearance at the Al Smith charity dinner with his wife Melania, giving an address that resembled a rally – with bitter attacks on his rival Kamala Harris – but also made a few gags at his own expense in line with tradition.
Harris broke with convention herself by declining to attend in favour of a key campaign event, instead sending a video skit that was played to attendees.
The event, which is aimed at raising funds for women and children in need, is often the last time the two nominees share a stage before election day.
