About 12 hours after nominee Kamala Harris called January 6th the biggest attack on democracy since the Civil War, the Democrat nominee joined Joe Biden, Tim Walz, Donald Trump, JD Vance and others in New York City at a memorial to commemorate the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
At the Memorial, Trump and Harris shook hands the morning after their Philadelphia debate:

Yesterday, President Biden said the following about attending today's 9/11 memorial:

That remark from Biden did not escape at least one family member who lost a loved one on that day, and she had this to say during the memorial:
Widow of 9/11 Fire Chief killed in terrorist attack CALLS OUT Joe Biden during her speech:

"The elected officials here today show their respect and reverence to the families on September 11th—or, in our president's words, 'Do 9/11.' Quite a flippant remark."
Wow. pic.twitter.com/ZYsgWpL6YL
Biden saying "doing 9/11" was almost as bad as when he checked his watch during a dignified transfer ceremony for those servicemembers who lost their lives because of his disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.

It looks like Biden and Harris had already left the memorial when that was said.

It appears Biden was long gone at this point. pic.twitter.com/AazbXUeFFc

Good on all those who stayed for the entire memorial.
Trump still there for all the speeches. Biden/Harris had more pressing matters apparently.

Apparently.
