At the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani shook hands during a ceremony. Giuliani, known for his recent anti-Muslim remarks, offered prayers for Mamdani during their brief exchange. Mamdani, the city's first Muslim mayor, also shared that they exchanged pleasantries during a memorial service later in the day.
The unexpected camaraderie among politicians, despite heightened partisan tensions, was attributed to the gravity of the event and the focus on the 2,983 victims.
