Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of New York, said he’s “disappointed” that Kamala Harris will not be attending the Al Smith charity dinner on Oct. 17 — a New York Catholic charities fundraiser that has become a staple for presidential nominees in election years.
“We were looking forward to giving the Vice President an enthusiastic welcome,” said the cardinal in a Sept. 23 briefing with press following an event at the Elizabeth Seton Children’s Center in Yonkers, New York.
“We’re not used to this. We don’t know how to handle it,” he said. “This hasn’t happened in 40 years since Walter Mondale turned down the invitation, and remember he lost 49 out of 50 states. I don’t want to say there’s a direct connection there.”
