Although Vice President Kamala Harris, a former California senator, supported the initiative, California Democrats rejected it in the state Senate. The California Senate Republican Caucus pointed out that both Trump and Harris advocate for abolishing the &#8220;tip tax.&#8221; This proposal gained traction after Trump announced it to an audience in Nevada, which has a high concentration of tipped workers. According to Yale University&#8217;s Budget Lab, there are around 4 million tipped workers in the U.S., making up about 2.5% of all employees. Many of these workers earn below minimum wage and rely heavily on tips for their income; even some higher-earning professions like barbers and hairstylists would benefit from this change. However, the bipartisan Committee for Responsible Federal Budget estimates that this proposal could decrease government revenue by $15 to $25 billion annually. In a recent vote in the California Senate, most Democrats opposed setting aside this amendment\u2014except for Senator Mike McGuire and Senator Nancy Skinner who abstained\u2014while all nine Republicans supported it.
