Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will commemorate the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks with visits to the 9/11 Memorial in New York City and Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
The sombre program is likely to be overshadowed by the fallout from Tuesday night’s debate, one of the most anticipated events of the 2024 election, especially after the last debate precipitated President Biden’s exit from the race.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris will travel to Ground Zero in New York, the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville and then to the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, to mourn the victims of the attacks at all three sites.
Trump also plans to visit the 9/11 Memorial on Wednesday, as well as a fire station in New York City, before traveling to Shanksville for a Flight 93 memorial, according to a campaign official.
The presidential candidates have overlapped on 9/11 anniversaries during previous election years. In 2016, Trump and then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton visited Ground Zero on the 15th anniversary of the attack. They arrived separately and did not appear to interact.
