President Joe Biden briefly wore a “Trump 2024” hat while visiting the Shanksville, Pa. Volunteer Fire Department on the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
White House senior deputy press secretary Andrew Bates wrote on social media Biden had shared a message recalling the “bipartisan unity” in post-9/11 America. He then called for Americas to return to this spirit with the approach of the election.
“As a gesture, [Biden] gave a hat to a Trump supporter who then said that in the same spirit, POTUS should put on his Trump cap,” Bates wrote. “He briefly wore it.”
The Trump campaign quickly seized on a picture from the event, writing “thanks for the support, Joe!”
“Kamala did so bad in last night’s debate, Joe Biden just put on a Trump hat,” the campaign wrote in a separate post. A video of Biden putting on the hat spread quickly on social media.
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump stood next to one another Wednesday morning in New York City to honor the victims of 9/11.
The solemn occasion came hours removed from a tense presidential debate Tuesday night, during which Trump and Harris prodded one another over their records in the White House.
