Trump and Harris visit New York City and Shanksville to mark 9/11 attacks following the debate.
Trump and Harris engaged in their first debate on Tuesday night.
Both Trump and Harris visited New York City to mark the 9/11 anniversary, despite their political differences.
The 23rd anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks falls on Wednesday. On that fateful day, a group of terrorists carried out coordinated attacks against the U.S. by hijacking and crashing commercial airline planes at the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The attacks resulted in the deaths of nearly 3,000 people, making it America's deadliest terrorist attack.
On Tuesday night, Trump and Harris took part in their first presidential debate before heading to New York City.
Trump is expected to visit Ground Zero to attend the 9/11 memorial commemoration and deliver brief remarks.
Trump is predicted to visit New York Fire Department Engine 4, Tower Ladder 15.
He is then set to travel to Shanksville to the Flight 93 Memorial.
The 9/11 memorial will be visited by President Biden and Harris for the commemoration ceremony.
The Flight 93 Memorial will be the destination for Biden and Harris for a wreath-laying ceremony.
Biden and Harris will attend a wreath-laying ceremony at the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia.
On September 11, 2001, over 400 first responders lost their lives, including 23 NYC police officers, 37 Port Authority workers, and 343 NYC firefighters.
The 40 passengers and crew members of Flight 93, who tragically lost their lives, are thought to have thwarted a bigger attack by resisting the terrorists who seized control of the plane. The crash site in Shanksville, just a 20-minute flight from the U.S. Capitol, serves as a poignant reminder of their bravery.
On August 31, 2021, the Biden-Harris administration removed all U.S. military assets from Afghanistan, marking the end of nearly 20 years of U.S. presence in the country following the 9/11 attacks.
After the withdrawal, the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan and declared the establishment of their new government. Prior to 9/11, the Taliban's government was known as the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, which was overthrown by U.S.-led forces following the attacks.
The Taliban, while providing shelter to al Qaeda, orchestrated the 9/11 attacks.
