9/11 Remembrances become next stop for Harris and Trump following debate

LOWER MANHATTAN. N.Y. (PIX11) -- The annual 9/11 remembrances are very intentionally apolitical events, but in a heated election year, and following the debate Tuesday night, there were moments Wednesday that had a political feel to them.

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump stood just a few feet apart with former Mayor Michael Bloomberg acting as a buffer in the middle.

It came less than 12 hours after their debate.

Several of former President Trump's supporters could be heard voicing their support for him and also shouting derogatory comments at President Biden and Vice President Harris just before the reading of names began.

Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine was standing behind Trump and said he had never seen anything like it on this solemn day.

"I would not say he was stoking it, but also he was doing nothing to stop it, it continued for several minutes," Levine said.

Trump also made a stop at an FDNY house-- looking to turn the page on a Tuesday night's debate where Kamala Harris baited him into losing control and pivoting to conspiracy theories about migrants.

"Unfortunately he came off sort of the crazy wacky uncle at the end of the table spouting off ideas and everybody says 'There goes Uncle Don again," said Alain Sanders, St. Peter's University Political Science.

The former President has said he felt he won the debate so handily there may be no need to debate again. Vice President Harris also expressed confidence and said she would be up for another one.
