Harris and Trump shake hands at New York 9/11 remembrance ceremony on 23rd anniversary of attacks

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Donald Trump and Sen. JD Vance are commemorating the 23rd anniversary of the September 11 attacks, appearing to put political hostilities on the back burner for a moment as the nation remembers the tragedy.

All four leaders were in New York on Wednesday for a commemoration event at Ground Zero in Manhattan. Trump and Harris, just hours past their first in-person meeting at the presidential debate Tuesday night, shook hands ahead of solemn commemorative ceremonies after Harris turned toward Trump and both extended a hand. Vance and Harris did not appear to interact.

Harris and Biden then traveled to Shanksville, Pennsylvania, to participate in a wreath-laying ceremony at the Flight 93 memorial. At that ceremony, Biden placed his hand on the wreath as the small group he was with bowed their heads. The president and vice president also stopped by a local Shanksville volunteer fire station that served as a key gathering point for families in 2001.

Biden and Harris observed a display of a cross made of the plane’s scraps. Biden made the sign of the cross before walking in to meet some of the families affected by that day.

Later in the afternoon, they will both travel to the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, for another wreath laying ceremony.

Trump will also travel separately to Shanksville later on Wednesday, according to a source familiar with his plans.

While candidates in active campaigning in past years have traditionally avoided politics on the anniversary of the attacks, this campaign cycle is notable for its toxicity and it remains to be seen how and whether each campaign will engage in politics on Wednesday.

Much like how one insures their car, why not also your gun? Regulations would need to be put in place to make sure a person would be a responsible gun owner in the same way regulations are done for responsible drivers. You wouldn’t be able to travel with it if you didn’t have proof of insurance. It would mean that if something happens to/with your gun that caused damage to property or people then your insurance would pay for such a claim rather than you. If your gun is stolen and then retrieved by law enforcement you would only need proof of insurance to retrieve it because you’re a responsible gun owner, it’s not your fault it got stolen. If someone else uses your gun for malicious purposes, it takes the blame off of you because that may be your gun but that doesn’t mean you gave them permission to use it in such a way and the insurance would be the one going to court over it rather than you if it reached that point.

I thought it was a trump Kamala debate, apparently now we know why Kamala and Biden refused to a neutral debate and had to be done under their specific rules specifically under pro leftist networks.

anyone one saw the mods debating trump?
pathetic. I thought it was gonna be a real debate.

wasted time on this nonsense again.

All they did was drill about Jan 6 same if rant and lied about how “people died” and how supposedly “trump sent them to go destroy democracy” And about how democrats “stole the elections and he didn’t accept it”

why bring that up and not bring up how democrats were the first to no accept a win when trump won?

NO word on how democrats screamed “Russian collusion” “Russian collusion” nonstop FIRST slamming the election was “stolen” and later was PROVEn to be just another invented democratic lie.

why are democrats like this? Why do they do this?

Kamala was cool as a cucumber and Donald was a lying, angry mess.
