Former first lady <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/melania-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Melania Trump</a> lit up the Federal Bureau of Investigation — in a video promo for her eponymous memoir due out in early October — saying that the raid on Mar-a-Lago should stand as a reminder to all Americans that their rights and liberties were worth protecting.
The video began with an image of the United States Constitution and the full text of the Fourth Amendment: &#8220;The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated.&#8221;

The former first lady then appeared on the screen, saying, &#8220;I never imagined my privacy would be invaded by the government here in America. The FBI raided my home in Florida and searched through my personal belongings.”
&#8220;This is not just my story, it serves as a warning to all Americans, a reminder that our freedom and rights must be respected,&#8221; she said.
Melania Trump has released a series of videos promoting her memoir, due out on October 8, including one that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/more-to-this-story-melania-questions-silence-around-trump-shooting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">raised questions</a> about what really happened on the day that her husband, former President Donald Trump, was shot at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kamala-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kamala Harris</a> struggled throughout her first solo interview as the Democrat presidential nominee that aired on Friday, including on trying to differentiate herself from President Joe Biden.
During the interview with 6abc Action News (WPVI-TV), Harris was asked if she could name just &#8220;one or two&#8221; policy areas where she could say that she was different than Biden.
&#8220;Well, I’m obviously not Joe Biden, and you know, I offer a new generation of leadership,&#8221; she claimed. &#8220;And so, for example, thinking about developing and creating an opportunity economy where it&#8217;s about investing in areas that really need a lot of work, and maybe focusing on, again, the aspirations and the dreams, but also just recognizing that at this moment in time, some of the stuff we could take for granted years ago, we can&#8217;t take for granted anymore.&#8221;
&#8220;For example, another plan that I have that is a new approach is to expand the child tax credit to $6,000 for young families for the first year of their child&#8217;s life,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Because that is obviously a very critical a stage of development of a child, and a lot of young parents need the help to buy a car seat or their crib or clothes for their kids. And so my approach is about new ideas, new policies that are directed at the current moment. And also, to be very honest with you, my focus is very much in what we need to do over the next 10-20 years to catch up to the 21st century around, again, capacity, but also challenges.&#8221;

Left-wing political commentator <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/charlamagne-tha-god" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charlamagne Tha God</a> urged Democrats to stuff President Joe Biden back in the basement after he put on a Trump hat this week following the debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.
Slamming Biden, he said: &#8220;A day after your vice president has a phenomenal debate against the former president of the United States of America, Donald Trump, you, Mr. President, decided to put on a hat that says ‘Trump 2024.'&#8221;
&#8220;That doesn’t seem like a show of support for your vice president to me. This race is going to be tight, okay?&#8221; he continued, adding that the only way that Democrats can win is if they get extremely high voter turn out from their base.
&#8220;So, when you know you need that kind of turnout, why as the sitting president would you wear a hat in support of a person who is the op of your running mate?&#8221; he asked. &#8220;He is an op in regards to your administration. You, President Biden, you call him a threat to democracy. Okay, if he’s a threat to democracy, why are you wearing paraphernalia that supports him being president in 2024? You said you did it as a gesture of unity. You can’t call someone a threat to democracy and then wear their paraphernalia and want to be unified with them. Nobody who opposed Nazis would ever wear something with a swastika on it.&#8221;

He concluded, &#8220;President Biden not only wore it, he took a picture in it. Now that picture is all over social media. It&#8217;s going to be on TV commercials, digital ads, Donald Trump&#8217;s campaign immediately, as you heard in the news report, thanked Joe for the support. Another post from them said, &#8216;Kamala did so bad at the debate, Joe Biden put on a Trump hat.&#8217; This is why you got to keep Joe Biden in the basement.&#8221;

Charlamagne Tha God Responds To Biden Wearing Trump Hat: Keep Him ‘In Basement’

Vice President Kamala Harris is not keeping up with the <a href="https://election.dailywire.com/?_gl=1*1nuwezz*_gcl_au*MjAyNjY0NDU0Mi4xNzI0MDY0OTMw*_ga*MTY1OTAyNTc3Ni4xNzI0MDY0OTMw*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTcyNjIzMTk3OS45Mi4xLjE3MjYyNDI4MTAuNjAuMC4w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">polling numbers</a> of the previous two Democratic presidential nominees at this point in the race as she remains in a neck-and-neck race with former President Donald Trump.
In top battleground states, Trump is performing more than 3 points better against Harris than he was against President Joe Biden in 2020 at this point in the campaign, according to the <a href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RealClearPolitics</a> average. Polling for Trump is nearly 2 points better for him against Harris than it was for him against Hillary Clinton at this point in 2016.
The top pollster for Cygnal — one of the <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/pollster-ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">most accurate</a> GOP polling firms in the country — said the historical polling data is bad news for Harris.
&#8220;When you look at where Biden was against Trump at this point, Harris is doing much worse in comparison,&#8221; Cygnal&#8217;s Brett Buchanan said. &#8220;In Arizona, she&#8217;s trailing Biden&#8217;s margin among younger voters by 3x (+11 v +31). Trump holds trust on the two key issues &#8211; inflation and immigration. This race is still Trump&#8217;s.&#8221;
Cygnal&#8217;s latest national poll <a href="https://www.cygn.al/national-poll-nearly-half-of-voters-blame-democrats-for-inflation-and-rising-costs-trump-harris-tied-despite-increased-participation-by-younger-voters/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shows</a> Harris leading Trump by just 2 points — close to the RCP <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/president/general/2024/trump-vs-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">national average</a>, which has Harris up by 1.5 points. At this point in 2020, Biden was leading Trump by more than 7 points nationally, per RCP.
FiveThirtyEight&#8217;s <a href="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/national/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">average</a> of national polls gives Harris a slightly bigger lead than RCP, showing her at 48.1% to Trump&#8217;s 45.5% as of Friday morning. In the major swing states, Trump barely leads in Georgia and Arizona, while Harris has a slight edge in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, according to FiveThirtyEight. In Nevada and North Carolina, the two candidates are within 0.3 points of each other.

Cygnal also released a <a href="https://www.cygn.al/michigan-statewide-poll-rogers-within-striking-distance-of-slotkin-as-republicans-gain-ground-across-the-state/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poll</a> of Michigan, a vital battleground state, on Thursday, showing Harris with a slight advantage at 47% to Trump&#8217;s 46%. Both of Cygnals latest polls were conducted before the debate between Harris and Trump, but Buchanan said that he doesn&#8217;t think the debate will have much of an effect on the election.
&#8220;Mostly partisans watched the debate. Each candidate gave their base what they wanted. Undecided voters just see clips later,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Trump gave more and better sound bites, even if there are viral ones the Dems intend to hurt him. Harris left few to no sound bites and certainly did NOT deliver on economic policy specifics that matter to undecided voters.&#8221;
Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-declares-he-wont-debate-kamala-again" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on Thursday that he would not debate Harris. The debate&#8217;s moderators, ABC News&#8217; David Muir and Linsey Davis, were slammed by the former president and many conservatives for their apparent bias. Trump was fact-checked numerous times by Muir and Davis, but Harris was never fact-checked despite making multiple false statements.

Harris-Walz campaign co-chair Mitch Landrieu bragged about Vice-President Kamala Harris&#8217; contribution to the Biden-Harris administration on Thursday, boasting that she “helped him (President Joe Biden) do all the things that were done in the time that she was there. And I think she’s proud of that.”
Landrieu<a href="https://x.com/DanaBashCNN/status/1834285815842656303"> appeared</a> on CNN’s “Inside Politics” with host Dana Bash.
Bash stated, “If you look at the voters who aren&#8217;t sure who to vote for, and if the crisis of affordability, I call it, is their top concern, what they know about Donald Trump is that they could afford more when he was president up until the pandemic. And they don&#8217;t know what she will bring.”
Ignoring the fact that the economy under Trump was roaring until the COVID pandemic, Landrieu claimed, “Well, first of all, that&#8217;s what they think, but of course that is not accurate. The economy when Donald Trump was president was terrible.”
“I think Joe Biden is going to go down in history as being one of the most consequential presidents in the history of America,” Landrieu trumpeted. “And she was his vice president and she helped him do all the things that were done in the Biden time that she was there, and I think that she&#8217;s proud of that.”
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/">Am I Racist? Is In Theaters NOW — Get Your Tickets Here!</a>
Quickly segueing, he added, &#8220;But nobody should be unclear of the fact that she is her own person.”
Landrieu tried to deflect from Biden’s unpopular policies, saying, “For people who didn&#8217;t like Joe Biden, one of the reasons they didn&#8217;t like him was not because of his policies. One of the reasons was they thought that he was too old and they said that over and over again.”
Landrieu claimed that voters “understand that it&#8217;s a choice between Donald Trump who wants to go backwards and Kamala Harris is going to go forward.” He didn’t explain what “going forward” would mean.
During the debate with former President Trump, Harris was asked about the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan under President Biden. The question was, “Do you believe you bear any responsibility in the way that withdrawal played out?”
Harris would not answer the question, only saying, “I agreed with President Biden&#8217;s decision to pull out of Afghanistan,” and then she attacked Trump.

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris visited firefighters in Shanksville, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pennsylvania" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pennsylvania</a> — as did former President Donald Trump, though at a different time — and video shows that the responses to their respective arrivals were dramatically different.
All three made stops in Shanksville at the Volunteer Fire Department after first attending memorial ceremonies at Ground Zero in New York City — and the Flight 93 National Memorial in Stoystown — to mark the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, but Trump got a much more animated reception from the crowd when he walked into the building.

According to video of their entrance, the crowd hardly appeared to notice when President Biden and Vice President Harris — who is currently running for president on the Democratic ticket — entered the room. But when Trump arrived, someone could be heard saying, &#8220;There he is&#8221; — and then the room quickly erupted in loud cheers and applause.
&#8220;The first thing we gotta do is fire Joe,&#8221; one person shouted.
&#8220;Oh, yeah, we&#8217;ll get him out,&#8221; Trump replied, prompting laughs.

The former president reportedly stayed at the Shanksville Volunteer Fire Department for about an hour, signing autographs and taking photos with the crowd of just over 100. He gave brief remarks that were interrupted occasionally with chants of &#8220;U.S.A.&#8221; and &#8220;Fight! Fight! Fight!&#8221;
According to a <a href="https://www.observer-reporter.com/news/local-news/2024/sep/12/trump-gets-warm-welcome-at-shanksville-meet-and-greet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from the Washington County-based Observer-Reporter, Trump was also invited by family members of Edward-Porter Felt and Louis J. Nacke III — both of whom were killed when United Flight 93 crashed near Shanksville — to attend a private memorial ceremony.
Trump won Cambria County — where Shanksville is located — with 68% of the vote in the 2020 presidential election.

Biden was visiting with firefighters in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, for the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks at the time, and there was a discussion with one man regarding whether or not Biden would sign a hat.
The president obliged, signing a navy blue cap with what appeared to be the presidential seal on it, but as he handed it over, he told the man, “I need that hat.”
The man offered Biden his hat — a red baseball cap with an American flag on the bill and “Trump” in bold lettering — and asked, “Do you want my autograph?”
”Hell no,” Biden replied, prompting laughs. “I ain’t going that far.”
Biden put the Trump cap on over the hat he was already wearing, and the firefighters cheered.

“Hey, I’m proud of you now, you old fart,” the man said to Biden.
”No eating dogs and cats,” Biden replied as the laughter died down.
The White House responded to the viral video with a statement from spokesman Andrew Bates, who said that Biden had taken the hat as a gesture to the unity that Americans had felt in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks.
“At the Shanksville Fire Station, @POTUS spoke about the country’s bipartisan unity after 9/11 and said we needed to get back to that,” Bates wrote. “As a gesture, he gave a hat to a Trump supporter who then said that in the same spirit POTUS should put on his Trump cap. He briefly wore it.”

President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> was captured on video on Wednesday as he donned a bright red Trump hat while he met with firefighters in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
In the brief video clip, Biden is handed the baseball cap — red, with an American flag across the bill and the name &#8220;Trump&#8221; in bold lettering across the front. The president did not appear to look at the hat before putting it on his head, smiling as he placed it on top of the hat he was already wearing.

Theories flooded X as the video circulated — some, like those who claimed it was a Trump endorsement, far less likely than others — as people scrambled to explain what reason Biden could possibly have for wearing anything Trump-related.
Some suggested, for example, that he was angry at Vice President Kamala Harris for taking his place on the 2024 ballot.

The widow of a fire chief — who was killed during the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/9-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">9/11 terrorist attacks</a> 23 years ago — blasted President Joe Biden for a callous and &#8220;flippant remark&#8221; about his plans to mark the anniversary on Wednesday at Ground Zero.
Joanne Barbara — widow of Gerard Barbara, an assistant chief in the New York Fire Department who died inside the World Trade Center on 9/11 — participated in Wednesday&#8217;s services but took a moment to call Biden out directly.

Biden was widely criticized for his phrasing after he spoke with reporters on the White House lawn on Tuesday, first detailing his plans to watch the ABC debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, and then adding an aside about attending the 9/11 memorial in New York.

Biden and Harris both made an appearance at the Ground Zero memorial ceremonies — standing alongside former President Donald Trump and his vice presidential nominee, Senator JD Vance (R-OH) — but had apparently ducked out by the time Barbara made her comments. When she called him out directly, the cameras panned to where Biden and Harris had been standing — but only Trump and Vance were still standing where they had been.

Since the September 11 terror attacks that caused the United States to occupy Afghanistan for two decades, the threat of terrorism is once again growing in the Middle Eastern country.
The House Foreign Affairs Committee released a 353-page <a href="https://foreignaffairs.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/WILLFULL-BLINDNESS-An-Assessment-of-the-Biden-Harris%20Administrations-Withdrawal-from-Afghanistan-and-the-Chaos-that-Followed.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> this week that detailed some of the terror activity that has ballooned in Afghanistan spurred on by the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.
“From the inception of the United States’ presence in Afghanistan, a primary goal has been to incapacitate terrorist groups seeking haven in the region, particularly with the Taliban’s assent,” the report states, adding that the “administration failed to plan for alternative methods of countering terrorism following the withdrawal. Terrorism, as a result, has flourished under the Biden-Harris administration.”
The threat of terrorism has increased from one group in particular. ISIS-K is an offshoot of ISIS in Afghanistan and is responsible for the deaths of 13 U.S. service members and dozens of Afghans in a suicide bombing at Hamid Karzai International Airport during the U.S. withdrawal. The United Nations now <a href="https://documents.un.org/doc/undoc/gen/n24/212/98/pdf/n2421298.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">assesses</a> that ISIS-K, especially after a terror attack on the Crocus City Hall in Moscow in March, now represents the “greatest external terrorist threat to” Europe.

ISIS-K and other terror organizations have been allowed to regroup and grow under Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, according to the report. The Haqqani Network, a sophisticated terror operation under the Taliban, and Al Qaeda, the terror group behind the 9/11 attacks on the U.S., have also reasserted themselves in Afghanistan
“Meanwhile, without a presence in Afghanistan, the United States is ill-positioned to counter the rise in terrorism in Afghanistan,” the report says. It goes on to call Al Qaeda “one of, if not the largest threat from Afghanistan following the Biden-Harris administration’s withdrawal.”
FBI Director Christopher Wray has repeatedly warned about the increasing threat environment for years, especially after the Hamas terror attack on Israel on October 7 of last year.
“Even before October 7, I would have told this Committee that we were at a heightened threat level from a terrorism perspective,&#8221; Wray <a href="https://www.ossoff.senate.gov/press-releases/watch-sen-ossoff-raises-with-fbi-director-terrorism-risk-along-southern-border-as-national-security-threat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> the Senate Intelligence Committee in April. &#8220;In the sense that, it’s the first time I’ve seen in a long, long time, the threats from homegrown violent extremists — that is jihadist-inspired extremists — domestic violent extremists, foreign terrorist organizations, and state-sponsored terrorist organizations all being elevated at one time.” 
The terror threats rising in the Middle East have been made more <a href="https://homeland.house.gov/2023/11/15/fbi-director-wray-confirms-the-border-crisis-poses-major-homeland-security-threat-dhs-secretary-mayorkas-stonewalls/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pressing</a> by the chaos on the southern border, Wray has said.

Terror Threats From Afghanistan Have ‘Flourished’ Under Biden-Harris Admin: Report

Terror Threats From Afghanistan Have Exploded Under Biden-Harris Administration

Afghanistan

Terrorism

Twenty-three years ago, Americans woke up to the shocking reality that radical Islamic terrorism was a very real, and very dangerous threat.
In the wake of the September 11 terrorist attack, the United States vowed to make the world safe from those forces. For years, it kept that vow, killing Osama Bin Laden and other terrorist masterminds, diminishing Al Qaeda, and waging two wars in the Middle East to decimate terrorist networks.
But now, 23 years after the worst-ever attack on the United States, terrorism is on the rise.
In Afghanistan, President Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal, which led to the death of 13 American service members, gave the Taliban power and $7 billion worth of U.S. military equipment. In Iraq and Syria, Iranian-backed militia groups continue a <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/drone-attack-us-base-syria-injuries-reported/story?id=112730470" target="_blank" rel="noopener">barrage of attacks</a> on U.S. military bases, often injuring personnel.
Worse than the resurgence of Islamic terrorism is Americans’ reaction.
At protests across the country, &#8220;United We Stand&#8221; has been replaced by anti-American chants. Pledges to &#8220;Never Forget&#8221; have themselves been forgotten by Americans, many of whom have <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/9-11-meme-gen-z-1235097749/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">turned 9/11 into a meme</a>, as pointed out by a 21-year-old college student who said she “genuinely forgot that not everyone thinks it’s funny now,” in an X post that<a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/9-11-meme-gen-z-1235097749/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> was favorited</a> more than 10,000 times. Others have found much to agree with in Bin Laden’s infamous 2002 “Letter to America.&#8221;
A recent poll found that almost one-third of Gen-Zers think Bin Laden’s views were a “force for good,”<a href="https://www.jpost.com/international/article-780061" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> reported The Jerusalem Post</a>.
Perhaps it’s unsurprising, then, that members of this same generation sympathize with Hamas terrorists who raped, massacred, and kidnapped over a thousand Israelis on October 7th, 2023. They wear <a href="https://x.com/KassyAkiva/status/1826428092690088235" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hamas headbands</a> and wave terrorist flags at protests, and harass Jewish students from the illegal encampments they’ve constructed on college campuses.

Buy here for a theater near you.</a>
Hamas, which killed 43 Americans, still holds seven captive. Hamas originally took eight American hostages, but last month executed<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/american-israeli-hersh-goldberg-polin-among-six-dead-hostages-recovered-by-israeli-forces-in-rafah" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Hersh Goldberg Polin</a> by shooting him in the back of the head at close range.
It’s unclear precisely what’s driving this rise in terrorist sympathy. But perhaps one answer can be found in the actions of Democrats and their media allies.
Biden has virtually halted former President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;maximum pressure campaign&#8221; to destroy Iran&#8217;s ability to support destabilizing terrorism in the region and instead has helped Tehran pad its coffers, allowing the regime to have access to $6 billion in a<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-hands-iran-6-billion-5-americans-freed" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> prisoner swap</a>.
The Biden-Harris administration’s lax border policies have allowed 250 individuals on the terror watch list to enter the country, a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-harris-admin-has-released-at-least-99-illegal-aliens-on-terror-watchlist-into-u-s-congress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">congressional report</a> found. Under “Border Czar” Kamala Harris, the administration released 99 of them.
Harris, who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/harris-was-last-person-in-the-room-when-biden-made-decision-on-afghanistan-pullout" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boasted</a> that she was the “last person in the room” when Biden made his decision to withdraw from Afghanistan, did not attend a memorial service for the 13 servicemen killed in Afghanistan, and then <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/spin-cycle-what-really-happened-at-arlington-national-cemetery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attempted</a> to use Trump’s attendance as a political attack.
At Tuesday night’s debate, moderators asked Harris if she stood by Biden’s withdrawal decision, but did not press her when she not-so-subtly dodged the question.
In Biden and Harris’s wake, the Taliban has grown stronger than ever and has <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/world/taliban-rebukes-un-concerns-laws-banning-womens-faces-voices-public" target="_blank" rel="noopener">implemented</a> draconian policies against women including banning them from speaking or showing their faces in public.
Today, Biden and Harris, along with Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, are together at the 9/11 memorial. That is, perhaps, a good sign. But the fact remains that Americans’ attitudes towards Islamic terrorism would have shocked anyone who remembers how they felt on September 12th, 2001.
As the nation reflects on the 23 years since 9/11, we must ask ourselves: How will the U.S. stand against terror in the future as the younger generation’s fading memory emboldens America&#8217;s enemies?

23 Years After 9/11, Terrorism Is Back On The Rise, With More Support Than Ever

Leading politicians on both sides of the aisle stood together in New York City on Wednesday to commemorate the 23rd anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were joined by former President Donald Trump and his running mate Sen. JD Vance (R-OH). Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg were also in attendance.
Video of the ceremony shows Bloomberg getting Harris&#8217; attention and appearing to tell her that Trump had arrived before the two opponents shook hands for the second time in the past 12 hours. Trump and Harris showed up for the 9/11 ceremony following their first debate in Philadelphia on Tuesday night. People in the crowd are heard shouting support for Trump after he arrived at the ceremony.

New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, former NYC Mayors Bill de Blasio and Rudy Guiliani, and Trump&#8217;s sons, Eric and Don Jr., were also in attendance.
The solemn ceremony remembered the 2,977 Americans who died 23 years ago. Mourners observed a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. ET — when the first hijacked plane hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center — and another moment of silence at 9:03 a.m. — when the second plane hit the South Tower. Moments of silence will also be held at 9:37 a.m. for when the Pentagon was struck, 9:59 a.m. for when the South Tower collapsed, 10:03 a.m. for when Flight 93 crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and 10:28 a.m. for when the North Tower fell.

During the ceremony, each of the victims&#8217; names is read aloud, and the full ceremony usually lasts until around 12:30 p.m., CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/911-memorial-nyc-23-years-later/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
Trump, Harris, and Biden are also expected to attend the ceremony in Shanksville for the victims of Flight 93 later on Wednesday.
&#8220;Never forget each of the 2,977 precious lives stolen from us when terrorists attacked our nation,&#8221; Biden said in a statement. &#8220;Never forget their families who still bear the grief from that searing September morning. Never forget the heroic citizens and survivors who rushed to help their fellow Americans. And never forget that when faced with evil-and an enemy that sought to tear us apart-we endured.&#8221;
