Trump Just Won Over Way More Voters

Karoline Leavitt, the national press secretary for Donald Trump’s campaign, recently shared her thoughts on Trump’s performance at the prestigious Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner. In an interview with Newsmax, she declared that Trump’s speech was a resounding success, while Vice President Kamala Harris’ remote appearance fell flat.

The annual dinner, a celebrated white-tie event held at the iconic Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City, is a fundraiser for Catholic charities and has a long-standing tradition of political engagement. This year, Harris opted to skip the event entirely, a move that many see as a miscalculation, especially considering that both she and President Biden attended the event in 2020.

“President Trump’s address at the Al Smith dinner was not just well-received; it was a highlight of the evening,” Leavitt remarked on the “Wake Up America” program. “His signature humor shone through, especially with clever jabs directed at Kamala Harris. He even managed to slip in a lighthearted reference to Doug Emhoff that resonated with the audience.”

Leavitt emphasized the importance of the event, noting the Catholic Church’s significant contributions to charity and the welfare of individuals in need. “The crowd was clearly delighted that President Trump was there, supporting such a worthy cause. It’s disappointing that Kamala Harris chose to cancel her appearance, opting instead for a pre-recorded video that simply did not land.”

She further critiqued Harris’ approach, stating, “The lack of laughter and the straight faces in the audience during her segment spoke volumes. President Trump didn’t just win the night; he reinforced his connection with the American people. As we approach the election on November 5, his momentum is undeniable.”

In a political landscape that often shifts rapidly, Trump’s ability to engage and entertain remains a key asset as he campaigns for a return to the White House.
