During a \u200crecent \u200crally in Las Vegas, Harris\u2062 vowed to eliminate these taxes and aid working families, a \u2064move quickly \u2064criticized by Trump and \u200dhis allies. They accused her \u200cof copying Trump\u2019s proposal for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-this-average-american-is-voting-for-donald-trump\/\" title=\"Why This Average American Is Voting for Donald Trump\">political gain<\/a>, with Trump emphasizing that Harris is a &#8220;copycat&#8221; and stating her promise lacks authenticity. Trump\u2019s \u2064campaign director highlighted past enforcement efforts by Harris to collect taxes on tips as \u2063contradictory to her new pledge. Trump also pointed out that Harris \u2063has proposed significant\u200c tax increases \u2062overall. He and others,\u2063 including his running mate Senator J.D. Vance, questioned why she hasn\u2019t acted on this issue as part of her administration.

During her campaign event in Las Vegas, Harris made this commitment, prompting Trump and his supporters to label her as a copycat who has taken the idea from him. James Blair, the political director for Trump&#8217;s campaign, criticized Harris on X by reminding everyone that her administration had introduced a new enforcement program last year aimed at collecting more taxes on tips. He claimed she could halt it now but wouldn&#8217;t because she is &#8220;a dishonest fraud.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Trump himself accused Harris of adopting his proposal for &#8220;political purposes&#8221; in a post on Truth Social. He stated that as her approval ratings decline and polls show her struggling, she has resorted to copying his policy of eliminating tip taxes but lacks genuine intent to implement it. He emphasized that this was originally his idea and pointed out that Harris had proposed the largest tax increase in history.<\/p>\n<p>At the rally, Harris expressed her commitment to fighting for American working families by raising the minimum wage and abolishing tip taxes for service workers when she becomes president. In response, Trump&#8217;s running mate Senator J.D. Vance questioned why she hasn&#8217;t acted on this promise already since she&#8217;s currently in office.<\/p>\n<p>Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene also criticized Harris&#8217;s inability to fulfill promises despite being Vice President, calling her a &#8220;fake candidate.&#8221; Donald Trump Jr. echoed these sentiments with remarks about stolen proposals while Charlie Kirk labeled Harris as &#8220;shameless&#8221; for allegedly taking Trump&#8217;s idea without credit<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2910,"featured_media":2322725,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Kamala-Harris-Las-Vegas.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[37829,4021,37830,3634,32076],"class_list":["post-2322724","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-campaign-promise","tag-harris","tag-tax-on-tips","tag-trump","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Kamala-Harris-Las-Vegas.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2322724","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2910"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2322724"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2322724\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2322725"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2322724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2322724"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2322724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
