President Trump, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, and J.D. Vance attended a 9/11 ceremony Wednesday morning in New York City.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg also attended the ceremony.

“Harris is expected to attend a service at the Memorial plaza at ground zero in New York City, as is Trump, who said in an interview on Fox News’ ‘Fox & Friends’ Wednesday morning that his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, of Ohio, will be joining him there. President Joe Biden will be there as well,” NBC News reports.

Per NBC News:

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden and Harris were attending because “they want to honor the 2,977 lives that were lost on that tragic day and support the families and also their loved ones who are still, still feeling a horrible pain.”

The service starts at 8:30 a.m. ET.

Harris and Biden — and Trump — will then travel to Shanksville, Pennsylvania, home of the Flight 93 memorial. It’s unclear whether they will be there at the same time.

Biden and Harris will take part in a wreath laying ceremony in Shanksville, according to the White House. They will head to another 9/11 event, at the Pentagon, at 5 p.m. ET.

Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, is expected to commemorate the 9/11 anniversary in his home state.

“Donald Trump seen shaking Vice President Kamala Harris’ hand at the 9/11 Ceremony in New York City. Trump was standing next to Biden, Michael Bloomberg and JD Vance,” Collin Rugg wrote.

“The ceremony comes just hours after Trump and Harris debated in Philadelphia. During the debate, Kamala Harris claimed January 6th was a bigger threat to democracy than 9/11,” he added.

“Donald Trump left us the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War,” Harris said during the debate.

ABC News reports:

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump shook hands again Wednesday morning as they arrived at the 9/11 anniversary ceremony in downtown Manhattan.

Harris, who was standing between New York Sen. Chuck Schumer and President Joe Biden, reached over the president to shake hands with Trump, who was standing next to former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

The greeting came less than 12 hours after Harris and Trump met for the first time at a presidential debate in Philadelphia, hosted by ABC News.

Tuesday night’s handshake between Harris and Trump ended an eight-year streak of no handshakes on the presidential debate stage. There are no rules or stipulations requiring a handshake before or after the debate.
