Former President Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, appeared alongside President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg for a service at the memorial plaza in New York City to mark the 23rd anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Today, @JDVance and I will be paying our respects to the victims of the 9/11 attacks and their families.

Video from the event show Trump and Harris shaking hands and exchanging a few words.
Some in the crowd then began cheering for the 45th president: "We love you!", "Donald!", "We need you!"

The event comes less than a day after Trump and Harris went head-to-head in the first and perhaps only debate, where Harris was criticized for arguing Jan. 6 was the "worst attack on democracy since the Civil War."
