During a rally in Las Vegas, Donald Trump labeled Vice President Kamala Harris a 'copycat' after she proposed eliminating federal taxes on tips for service workers.

Harris's proposal comes two months after Trump made a similar suggestion in Nevada, where he gained popularity for his stance.

Harris made her pledge at a campaign event in Las Vegas, addressing a crowd that included many influential members of Nevada's hospitality union, where workers rely heavily on tips.

Nevada is a crucial swing state, making it a key focus for candidates from both parties as they seek to secure votes in its unpredictable electoral landscape.

Over 12,000 supporters attended Harris's rally, although entry was delayed due to health concerns from high temperatures outside.

A campaign official clarified that Harris's proposal would require legislative action and include income limits to prevent high earners from benefiting disproportionately.

Changing the taxation on tips would require new legislation from Congress, as the government cannot amend it unilaterally.

A top Biden adviser emphasized that raising the minimum wage and providing overtime protections are more effective solutions for workers' needs than eliminating tip taxes.

Recent polling indicates that 67% of Americans oppose taxing tips for service workers, suggesting broad public support for the proposals from both Trump and Harris.

A Yale University analysis noted that Trump's proposed bill would impact only a small percentage of the workforce, specifically 2.5% overall.

Following Trump's proposal, several Republican lawmakers introduced bills to exempt tip income from taxes, though reactions have been mixed among party members.
