Harris and Trump's unexpected handshake at the 9/11 ceremony

Two candidates who fiercely fought for supremacy during Tuesday night's presidential debate have met again and stood before the cameras. This time, they were in a larger group. At the ceremonies commemorating the 23rd anniversary of the September 11 attack in New York, the opponents stood shoulder to shoulder.

In New York, during the ceremony commemorating the 3,000 victims of the World Trade Center attack, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump shook hands in greeting. They did not do this after the debate on Tuesday.

American politicians attending the ceremony to honor the victims of the World Trade Center stood in a united row. President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Donald Trump, Senator JD Vance, and former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg greeted each other with friendly handshakes.

The handshake between Harris and Trump was particularly notable. On Tuesday, the current Vice President and former President faced off in a pre-election debate.

Millions of Americans watched the debate. According to commentators and polls, one candidate emerged as the victor.

At the National Constitutional Center in Philadelphia at 9:00 PM, a spectacular victory was secured by one politician.

Harris was relaxed, cheerful, laid-back, and effective. She looked directly into the camera as if speaking directly to the voters. Trump avoided eye contact with Harris and became visibly frustrated. Even Fox News, a media outlet normally favoring him, had to report that, according to poll research, Harris had the advantage.

The welcoming handshake during the World Trade Center attack anniversary does not necessarily mean that Donald Trump appreciated his opponent. At the end of Tuesday's debate, such a significant gesture between the adversaries did not occur. It is more likely a demonstration from all sides of the seriousness with which Americans approach the memory of the Two Towers tragedy and the death of 3,000 compatriots.
