In what’s described as a show of unity, President Biden briefly wore a MAGA hat at a Shanksville, Pennsylvania, event with firefighters following a 9/11 commemoration on Wednesday.
Video from the event shows Biden exchanging some friendly words with a Trump supporter in the crowd before both men swap caps in a gesture of what Andrew Bates, White House Senior Deputy Press Secretary clarified as a sign of “bipartisan unity.”
Biden offers the man a hat with the presidential seal on it, saying he would autograph it.
After some joking about his age, Biden hands the man the autographed cap and offers to trade it for the Trump hat.
Republicans have been joking with Democrats about wearing red hats, including Trump who claimed Kamala was “going to his philosophy now.”
