Harris and Trump Shake Hands During 23rd Anniversary of 9/11 Attacks

Sep 12 2024

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Donald Trump, and Senator JD Vance were in New York on Wednesday to commemorate the 23rd anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

Trump and Harris, just a few hours after their first meeting at the presidential debate on Tuesday night, shook hands when Harris turned toward the former president and both extended a hand. No interaction between Vance and Harris was observed.

Harris and Biden then travelled to Shanksville, Pennsylvania, to participate in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Flight 93 memorial. During the ceremony, Biden rested his hand on the wreath as the small group accompanying him bowed their heads. The president and vice president also visited a local volunteer fire station in Shanksville, which had been a key gathering point for families in 2001.
