WASHINGTON — Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama said today they will put aside partisan politics for a joint appearance Thursday at the World Trade Center site to mark the seventh anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
The campaigns already had agreed to suspend TV advertising critical of each other on Sept. 11. The McCain campaign has said it will air no ads that day.
“All of us came together on 9/11 — not as Democrats or Republicans — but as Americans,” the Democratic and Republican presidential nominees said in a statement. “We were united as one American family. On Thursday, we will put aside politics and come together to renew that unity.”
