Harris called out for ‘stealing’ signature Trump policy, former president says she won’t actually do it
Vice President Kamala Harris cloned former President Trump’s pledge to eliminate federal taxes on tips paid to workers in restaurants, bars, hotels and others in the service industry.
At a rally on the campus of the University of Nevada at Las Vegas on Saturday evening, Harris pledged to fight for “working families of Americans.”
“When I was attorney general of California, we worked together to crack down on wage theft,” she said. “When I was a United States senator, we fought together for paid family leave and medical leave.”
Harris, who received the endorsement of the Culinary Workers Union Local 226, promised the droves of service and hospitality workers in Sin City to “eliminate taxes on tips.”
“And earlier this year, right here in Vegas, we celebrated your historic contract win. And it is my promise to everyone here when I am president, we will continue our fight for the working families of America,” Harris said. “Including to raise the minimum wage. And eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.”
Trump was quick to respond on social media, putting Harris on blast for “stealing” his policy.
“Kamala Harris, whose “Honeymoon” period is ENDING, and is starting to get hammered in the Polls, just copied my NO TAXES ON TIPS Policy,” he wrote in a Truth Social post.
