Leading politicians on both sides of the aisle stood together in New York City on Wednesday to commemorate the 23rd anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were joined by former President Donald Trump and his running mate Sen. JD Vance (R-OH). Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg were also in attendance. Video of the ceremony shows Bloomberg getting Harris’ attention and appearing to tell her that Trump had arrived before the two opponents shook hands for the second time in the past 12 hours. Trump and Harris showed up for the 9/11 ceremony following their first debate in Philadelphia on Tuesday night. People in the crowd are heard shouting support for Trump after he arrived at the ceremony. President Biden, Vice President Harris, former President Trump, Sen.

Moments of silence will also be held at 9:37 a.m. for when the Pentagon was struck, 9:59 a.m. for when the South Tower collapsed, 10:03 a.m. for when Flight 93 crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and 10:28 a.m. for when the North Tower fell.

Never forget the heroic citizens and survivors who rushed to help their fellow Americans. And never forget that when faced with evil-and an enemy that sought to tear us apart-we endured.”
