President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Trump briefly put politics aside Wednesday when they attended the same 9/11 remembrance ceremony in New York City.
The big picture: Their appearance together comes mere hours after Harris and Trump's presidential debate, in which the two traded sharp — and often personal — barbs.
- Yet in a show of unity, the two candidates exchanged a handshake at the World Trade Center site on Wednesday.
- Biden, Harris, and Trump will also appear together at a remembrance ceremony in Shanksville, Pa., Wednesday afternoon.
- Biden and Harris will then close out the day by attending another memorial ceremony at the Pentagon in the evening.
