The moment of unity between Harris and Trump at the 9/11 anniversary ceremony served as a poignant reminder that, despite our differences, we are all united in our shared humanity and in our commitment to honoring the memory of those who lost their lives on that tragic day. It was a rare moment of bipartisanship in a time of deep political division, and a testament to the resilience and strength of the American spirit.
