Trump visits Bronx barbershop ahead of Al Smith dinner in NYC

Following an intense appearance in Miami on Wednesday, former President Donald Trump is in New York City ahead of his remarks at the Al Smith charity dinner, with plans to stop by a Bronx barbershop beforehand. 

Vice President Kamala Harris opted to skip the event in favor of campaigning in battleground states.

It's not clear whether Trump will get his hair cut or not. 

The former president has tried to pay homage to his hometown, recalling its "humble beginnings" as a small Dutch trading post before it grew into a glamorous cultural capital that "inspired the entire world."

"Everyone wanted to be here," he said at a May rally--"But sadly this is now a city in decline."
