Per USA Today:
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump followed a night of tense debate with a day of solemn tribute on Wednesday, briefly shaking hands before a 9/11 memorial services in at Ground Zero in New York City.
Harris and Trump, who had a more awkward handshake just before Tuesday’s contentious debate, planned to attend other 9/11 memorial services throughout the day. They started with the ceremony at the site of the twin towers that were the first targets of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
As loved ones read out the names of the fallen on 9/11, Harris and President Joe Biden stood on the front row just a few feet away from Trump and running mate JD Vance.
