Kamala Harris and Donald Trump shake hands at September 11 memorial service

WASHINGTON-

. Switch to WASHINGTON – Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump followed a night of tense debates with a day of solemn tributes Wednesday, shaking hands briefly before a Sept. 11 memorial service at Ground Zero in New York City.

Harris and Trump, who shook hands again shortly before the controversial debate on Tuesday, planned to attend further 9/11 memorial services later in the day. They began with the ceremony at the site of the Twin Towers, which were the first target of the terrorist attacks on September 9, 2021.

As their relatives read the names of the September 11 victims, Harris and Biden stood in the front row, just feet away from Trump and fellow Vice President JD Vance.
