Harris and Trump attempt to out-presidential each other on 9/11 anniversary

Published September 11, 2024 6:01pm ET



Both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump spent Sept. 11 at memorial services in New York and Pennsylvania, just one day after squaring off in their first presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle.

Though media outlets and experts widely declared Harris the winner of Tuesday evening’s debate on ABC News, Trump claimed victory for himself during a rare appearance in the spin room following the debate. That night, the former president left the door open to a second debate and told reporters Wednesday in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, that he would take part in debates hosted by NBC News and Fox News.
