Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump to attend the 71st annual Alfred E. Smith dinner in NYC

For at least one night, presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are expected to put aside the vitriolic attacks that have defined this election season in exchange for more light-hearted jabs.

On Thursday, a day after the third and final presidential debate, Clinton and Trump will speak at the 71st annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner — a charity gala at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel with a longstanding tradition of hosting the major party presidential candidates for a night of political roasting.

At the dinner, named after the state’s 42nd governor and the first Catholic U.S. presidential candidate, both rivals “will deliver the evening’s keynote speeches in the spirit of collegiality and good-humor that has become a hallmark of the gala,” said Joseph Zwilling, a spokesman for the Archdiocese of New York, which helps coordinate the event.

However, in an election year marked by bitter, and often personal lines of attack, some political observers and some of the luminaries attending the $3,000-per-person event, have questioned whether the event will stray from its good-natured history.
