Kamala Harris announced at her rally that she would “eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.”
“Kamala just announced she is stealing President Trump’s ‘NO TAX ON TIPS’ proposal. But like everything else she says, it’s a pure political calculation she’ll never actually do — but President Trump WILL,” Trump War Room wrote.

“Kamala Harris, whose ‘Honeymoon’ period is ENDING, and is starting to get hammered in the Polls, just copied my NO TAXES ON TIPS Policy. The difference is, she won’t do it, she just wants it for Political Purposes! This was a TRUMP idea – She has no ideas, she can only steal from me,” Trump responded.
“Remember, Kamala has proposed the LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN HISTORY – It won’t happen. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” he added.
“Given that she runs the government why doesn’t she do it now?” J.D. Vance questioned.

From the Associated Press:
Vice President Kamala Harris promised Saturday to work to eliminate taxes on tips paid to restaurant and other service industry employees, echoing a pledge that her opponent, Republican Donald Trump, has made, and marking a rare instance of political overlap from both sides.
Harris made the announcement at a rally on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where the economy relies heavily on the hotel, restaurant and entertainment industries. Trump vowed essentially the same thing at his own rally in the city in June — though neither he nor Harris are likely to be able to fully do that without actions from Congress.
“It is my promise to everyone here that, when I am president, we will continue our fight for working families of America,” Harris said. “Including to raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.”
“And just like that, both major party Presidential candidates support my Tax Free Tips Act of 2024! Thank you @RonPaul for originally introducing this bill,” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) commented.
