TRUNALIMUNUMAPRZURE! Biden will observe 9/11 in Alaska instead of the traditional NYC, Virginia or Pennsylvania events.
Biden will not participate in any of the observances at 9/11 memorial sites in New York City, Virginia or Pennsylvania. Instead, the president will stop in Alaska for a Sept. 11 observance at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage on his way back to Washington after a trip to Asia.
Biden is scheduled to travel to India from Sept. 7-10 to attend a summit with other world leaders, followed by a stop in Vietnam.
Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, will participate in the annual observance at the National September 11 Memorial and Museum in lower Manhattan.
First lady Jill Biden will lay a wreath at the 9/11 memorial at the Pentagon.
Alaska reduces the odds of an iPhone capturing yet another Biden gaffe, or worse:
This also gives Harris a chance to act (try not to laugh) as presidential as possible for what will be a widely covered event.
But like John Larroquette at the end of Stripes, would it possible to transfer the (p)resident to Alaska permanently?
