Vice President Kamala Harris has recently announced her support for the elimination of taxes on tips for hospitality and service workers, a policy that was initially proposed by former President Donald Trump. This endorsement from Harris comes as she gears up for an economic plan rollout and aims to garner backing from the significant coalition of service industry employees in Nevada.
During a rally in Las Vegas, Harris addressed a large audience, including members of a local culinary workers union, where she highlighted her commitment to implementing policies that will benefit working families. One of the specific examples she mentioned was the removal of taxes on tips.
Former President Trump, who had first put forward this idea at a campaign rally in Las Vegas, accused Harris of imitating his policy stance. Trump took to his Truth Social platform to criticize Harris, stating that she was merely using his idea for political gain and had no original ideas of her own.
Despite the initial proposal coming from Trump, Harris's endorsement of eliminating taxes on tips signifies a bipartisan approach to supporting service and hospitality workers, aiming to provide them with financial relief and greater economic stability.
