Harris accused of ‘stealing’ Trump’s campaign promise to end tax on tips

Published



Vice President Kamala Harris is being accused of copying former President Donald Trump after she pledged during a campaign rally on Saturday to end taxes on tips, an issue that Trump has championed during his own campaign.

Harris made the pledge during a campaign stop in Las Vegas on Saturday, with Trump and his allies quickly seizing on the pledge to charge the Democratic nominee with being a copycat and stealing the idea from the former president.

“Now is a good time to remind everyone that #CopyCatKamala’s administration rolled out a new enforcement program JUST LAST YEAR to collect more taxes on tips! She could stop it now… but she won’t, because she’s a dishonest fraud!” Trump campaign political director James Blair posted on X. 

Trump accused Harris of copying his idea for “political purposes,” in a post to his Truth Social.
