The Washington Post: On 9/11, a temporary pause in presidential hostilities

By Matt Viser and Philip Rucker

    Today is the 19th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks. Over 2,000 civilians and first responders died that day, and I wish the families who lost loved ones well.
    Both incumbent President Trump and Democratic nominee Biden visited Shanksville, Pennslyvania, where the final plane that was headed tower the Capitol was crash-landed by its brave civilian passengers. In a rare moment, the two put aside politics and exchanged greetings.
    After a ceremony and moment of silence, they consoled and talked to the small gathering of family members. The Vice President and Senator Harris also visited fire stations to commend the first responders to saved lives that day.
