US presidential hopefuls Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, joined by outgoing President Joe Biden, made a rare – and fragile – show of unity in New York today, joining a ceremony marking the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. 2001.
In this historic election battle for the White House, where in a few weeks Donald Trump escaped an assassination attempt, Joe Biden threw in the towel and Kamala Harris took over, the vice president can now count on the support of the popular pop star Taylor Swift. That support didn’t sit well with the Republican billionaire, who predicted the singer would “probably pay the price in the market” for music.
In an unexpected development, Trump and Harris met today in Manhattan for the 9/11 memorial service. As in their phone call last night in Philadelphia, they exchanged a handshake – with Trump making a face that hinted at a smile – as President Biden looked on.
In his announcement, the outgoing president emphasized that “23 years ago terrorists believed they could bend us and bring us to our knees. They were wrong and always will be. Even in the darkest hours, we saw light, we faced fear, we came together.” Biden also praised US values of “freedom, democracy and unity.”
As is customary, the names of the 2,977 people who were killed when planes hijacked by al-Qaeda members crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania were read out at the ceremony.
