Trump Accuses Harris of Copying His 'No Tax on Tips' Promise

Jump to Summary

During a campaign rally in Las Vegas, Nevada, former President Donald Trump accused Vice President Kamala Harris of copying his tax policy. Trump made this accusation via his Truth Social app, claiming Harris is adopting his proposal to eliminate federal taxes on tips for service workers. This follows Harris' recent promise to raise the minimum wage and abolish taxes on tips received by workers in the service and hospitality industries.

Harris made her pledge during a rally at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where she emphasized her commitment to supporting "working families of Americans." Her proposal aligns closely with Trump's earlier promise made in June, which also aimed to eliminate taxes on tips and raise the minimum wage for service workers. Both candidates are focusing on Nevada, a key swing state, as they campaign for votes in the upcoming election.

A Harris campaign official noted that any changes to the taxation of tips would require legislation to be passed by Congress, underscoring the complexity of implementing such a policy. Despite the similarities in their proposals, Trump has criticized Harris for what he perceives as political opportunism, accusing her of copying his ideas for electoral gain.
