Former President Trump and Vice President Harris Share Handshake at 9/11 Memorial

Former President Trump surprised many by showing a rare moment of humility during the 23rd-anniversary commemoration of the September 11 attacks. Despite the ongoing political tensions, Trump extended a handshake to Vice President Kamala Harris at Ground Zero in New York.

The gesture came after a viral moment where Trump, Harris, President Joe Biden, Senator JD Vance, and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg gathered to honor the victims of the tragic event. The simple handshake between Trump and Harris stood out amidst the current political campaigning and divisions.

Following the ceremony in New York, Biden and Harris traveled to Shanksville, Pennsylvania, to lay a wreath at the Flight 93 memorial. Biden made the sign of the cross as he observed a cross constructed from the plane’s wreckage and met with families affected by the tragedy.

Biden and Harris also participated in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, while Trump was expected to visit Shanksville later in the day. The commemorations highlighted the lasting impact of the 9/11 attacks, which claimed nearly 3,000 lives and changed the world forever.

As the nation remembered the lives lost on 9/11, the moment of unity and respect shown by political figures like Trump and Harris served as a reminder of the importance of coming together in times of tragedy. RIP to all who perished on 9/11, and much respect to their families, friends, and the world affected by the events of that fateful day.
