President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and former President Donald Trump made a rare joint appearance on Wednesday at the New York City site that marks the Sept. 11 plane attacks in 2001, which killed nearly 3,000 people.
Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, and Trump, her Republican rival in the upcoming Nov. 5 U.S. presidential election, shook hands and exchanged a few words despite their contentious debate the night before.
They then lined up for the commemoration.
The ceremony at the Ground Zero site, where the World Trade Center’s twin towers were brought down by planes, included the reading of names by the wives, husbands, sisters, brothers, and grandchildren of those who died 23 years ago.
The annual rite marks the suicide attacks by al-Qaeda Islamist militants that hit Manhattan, the Pentagon, and a Pennsylvania field.
