At the 25th anniversary ceremony of the Sept. 11 attacks, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who recently engaged in an anti-Muslim tirade against him, shook hands with current Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the city's first Muslim mayor. Giuliani offered prayers for Mamdani, telling him he knows it's a tough job. Mamdani later said they exchanged pleasantries. In another unexpected display of comity, former Mayor Bill de Blasio hugged former Governor Andrew Cuomo, and Republican Vice President JD Vance mingled with Democratic former presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama. A Giuliani aide defended Mamdani and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from allegations of laughing during the ceremony. Governor Kathy Hochul described the moment as one of common humanity. New York Archbishop Ronald Hicks said Giuliani was following Jesus by offering prayers. Despite calls for Mamdani to stay away due to his religion and associations, he attended and spoke with victims' families. The ceremony focused on reading the names of the 2,983 victims, with all living presidents and mayors except Donald Trump and Eric Adams present.
