Kamala Harris Echoes Trump on Tax-Free Tips in Campaign Blitz

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, campaigning in Nevada, announced her support for eliminating taxes on tips, aligning her stance with Donald Trump to attract service workers. Harris emphasized her commitment to raising the minimum wage and combating price gouging. She continues her campaign with Governor Tim Walz in crucial swing states.

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, addressing supporters in Nevada, announced her support for eliminating taxes on tips, a key issue for service workers. The stance matches that of her rival, Donald Trump, in an effort to win over a significant constituency in the state.

"It is my promise to everyone here when I am president we will continue to fight for working families, including to raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers," Harris declared. Fighting illegal price gouging and reducing drug costs were additional pledges in her address.

Trump accused Harris of mimicking his policy, but a Harris campaign official indicated that her proposal would include strict safeguards to prevent abuse by high earners. Harris, now officially the Democratic presidential nominee, has been campaigning fervently in battleground states to secure electoral votes. Recent polls show her leading Trump by significant margins.
