During the presidential debate, Donald Trump referenced Kamala Harris copying several of his policies on the campaign trail.

“She has no policy. Everything that she believed three years ago and four years ago is out the window,” Trump said.

“She’s going to my philosophy now. In fact, I was going to send her a MAGA hat,” he continued.

“She’s gone to my philosophy. But if she ever got elected, she’d change it,” he added.

Fox News reports:

Republican voters’ approval shot up during Trump’s remarks, while Independent support increased slightly, and Democrat voters’ approval dipped, according to the Fox News dial.

Harris was under fire from critics and conservatives last month for echoing former President Trump’s campaign vow to not tax service industry employees’ tips after the Biden-Harris administration rolled out a plan to crack down on tips for people who work in the service industry.

From The Hill:

He accused Harris of being a “Marxist” as he has before, having nicknamed her “Comrade Kamala.”

Harris said during a sit-down interview with CNN that her “values have not changed” in defense of her current positions. She said her overall goals like addressing climate change and securing the southern border have remained the same.

Trump has sought to brand Harris as far left and tie her to issues she ran on in 2019. He has also accused her of stealing his idea to end taxes on tips after she said she would support the proposal that he initially made.

The issue has become a key attempt from both candidates to try to appeal to working-class voters.
