After meeting for the very first time face-to-face on the debate stage in Philadelphia, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump crossed paths again as they attended the 9/11 Memorial in New York City on Wednesday morning. 

The memorial comes just hours after the two candidates walked off stage and honors those who lost their lives in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.  

Harris is walking away from Tuesday evening’s debate with a new edge over Trump as many conclude she ‘won’ the first showdown with the former president. 

Three planes landed in New York in the early hours of Wednesday morning coming from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Air Force Two was seen sandwiched between Trump Force One and his running mate Sen. J.D. Vance‘s plane Trump Force Two.

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris were cordial at Ground Zero as they met for a second time in 24 hours.

The two presidential candidates shook hands ahead of the 9/11 remembrance service at the memorial in New York City.

It comes just hours after a tense debate, which started when Trump and Harris met face-to-face for the very first time.

Harris stood alongside President Joe Biden, and on her other side was joined by New York Sen. Chuck Schumer for the somber occasion.

Former NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg acted as a buffer by standing between Trump and Biden.

Trump also shook hands with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, once his attorney and an ally of the campaign. Giuliani was mayor at the time of the 9/11 attacks and was loving known as America’s Mayor, but has since fallen from grace with the public when he aligned himself with Trump and fighting for election interference cases.

The attendance by Trump and his running mate Sen. J.D. Vance along with Biden and Harris is rare and marks one of the few times the former president and current president have been in the same space.

Trump did not attend Biden’s inauguration in January 2021. The last time they were in the same room was during their debate in June, which ultimately led to the demise of Biden’s reelection bid.

Showing up together on Wednesday shows the signifiance of putting aside political differences on a day dedicated to memorializing the horrific terrorist attacks on U.S. soil 23 years ago.

The White House talked up a new report showing inflation dropped to its lowest level since 2021. That comes days before a critical meeting where members of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors meet on a possible rate cut.

‘Today’s report shows that we are turning the page on inflation, which has fallen to 2.5%, close to the level the month before the pandemic started,’ said National Economic Advisor Lael Brainard in a statement. ‘With inflation coming back down close to normal levels, it is important to focus on sustaining the historic gains we have made for American workers during this recovery.’

The White House cheered the Consumer Price Index data hours after inflation played only a minor role in the televised debate, even as voters register continued concerns about the economy and prices.

Donald Trump thinks Taylor Swift will ‘pay a price’ after backing Kamala Harris for President – and reveals which endorsement he prefers

Former President Donald Trump brushed off Taylor Swift’s bombshell endorsement of Kamala Harris, saying Wednesday morning there was another NFL-linked prize he valued more.

‘I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better if you want to know the truth,’ Trump told Fox & Friends Wednesday morning hours after the prime time debate clash in Philadelphia.

He was referring to Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes – a Taylor Swift friend who attended multiple games with the singer last season while rooting on the team and Swift’s boyfriend Jason Kelce.

Mahomes drew attention when she ‘liked’ a Trump post on his Instagram page, suggesting a political split between the friends.
