This event took place during Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris&#8217;s visit with first responders and their families in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, the site of the United Airlines Flight 93 crash on September 11, 2001. The press traveling with them were not permitted into the reception following a memorial service for September 11, so they did not witness the interaction firsthand. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre explained to reporters that Biden spoke spontaneously about bipartisan unity during this moment. She noted that he referenced the spirit of togetherness experienced after the tragic events of September 11 and emphasized the need to return to such unity in the country. <\/p>\n<p>Jean-Pierre elaborated that Biden offered his presidential hat to a man wearing a Trump hat as a gesture of goodwill, which led to an exchange where the man suggested Biden wear his Trump hat briefly. Later in her briefing, when asked what happened to the Trump hat after Biden wore it, Jean-Pierre humorously remarked she wasn&#8217;t sure if it was on her desk as a gift for someone at the White House. Many attendees at this event were seen wearing clothing supporting former President Donald Trump, including children who posed for photos with Biden while sporting Trump merchandise<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2645,"featured_media":2340325,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/karine-biden-maga-hat.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3620,9267,3634,32076,32127],"class_list":["post-2340324","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-biden","tag-hat","tag-trump","tag-washington-examiner","tag-white-house"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/karine-biden-maga-hat.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2340324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2645"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2340324"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2340324\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2340325"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2340324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2340324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2340324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
