Harris Echos Trump Vow To End Taxes On Tips

August 11, 2024 6:54 am

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris is promising to work to eliminate federal taxes on tips paid to restaurant and other service industry employees. That echoes a similar pledge by her opponent, Republican Donald Trump, and marks a rare moment of political overlap between them. Harris made the announcement Saturday at a rally in Las Vegas, where the economy relies heavily on the hotel, restaurant and entertainment industries. Trump made a similar promise at his own rally in the city in June. Trump is now accusing Harris of copying his pledge. He claims “she has no ideas, she can only steal from me.”
