President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump made a rare appearance together as they marked the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The group visited the 9/11 Memorial in New York City on Wednesday, Sept. 11, where two hijacked planes brought down the World Trade Center’s twin towers. They were also joined at the remembrance ceremony by Trump's running mate, J.D. Vance, and loved ones and politicians.

Former N.Y.C. Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who assumed office in the months that -

followed the devastation, stood in between the Democratic and Republican leaders.

Trump, 78, and Harris, 59, greeted one another at the memorial, shaking hands for the second time in 12 hours. The political opponents only met in person for the first time on Tuesday night at their tense first presidential debate in Philadelphia.

Biden, Harris and Trump have additional stops planned on Wednesday, at other sites where hijacked planes crashed in 2001. The attacks killed nearly 3,000 people.
