Ground Zero is hallowed ground. Every 4 years, it turns to political stage

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

65% : Both Harris and Trump have attended the 9/11 anniversary ceremony in past years, as have many politicians running for or holding office.
55% : Further, given the run-in that Trump had at Arlington, avoiding politics would be wise, especially for Trump.
54% : Trump said he was invited by the family of one of those service members.
41% : If Harris and Trump don't cross paths at Ground Zero on Wednesday, they will have one more chance before the day is out: both campaigns say their candidates will make stops at the Flight 93 memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania -- a state that happens to be a must-win for both camps in November.
29% : Wednesday's ceremony also comes in the wake of backlash against Trump for holding a campaign event at Arlington National Ceremony to mark the anniversary of the suicide bombing at Kabul's airport that killed 13 U.S. service members during the withdrawal.
29% : President Biden, meanwhile, was there for the twentieth anniversary in 2021, which came nine months after Jan. 6, when Trump was in something of a political exile at Mar-a-Lago before announcing his intention to run in 2024.
17% : For his part, Trump last attended the 9/11 ceremony when he was running for president in 2016, along with his opponent, Hillary Clinton.
