Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will both mark the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks at stops in New York City and Shanksville, Pa. 

Trump and Harris were seen shaking hands at the 9/11 ceremony in New York City.

Trump is also planning 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. 

Biden and Harris will travel to Ground Zero in New York, to the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, and then to the Pentagon in Arlington, Va., to mourn the victims of the attacks at all three sites.

“You will see the president and vice president next week together as they mourn the thousands of lives that were lost on that day and also the first responders who obviously put their lives on the line to protect Americans on that day,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters last week. 

Trump released a video to mark the date last year, saying “no one who lived through the horror of the September 11 terrorist attacks can ever forget the agony and the anguish of that terrible day.”
