Vice President Kamala Harris is being accused of copying former President Donald Trump after she pledged during a campaign rally on Saturday to end taxes on tips, an issue that Trump has championed during his own campaign.

Harris made the pledge during a campaign stop in Las Vegas on Saturday, with Trump and his allies quickly seizing on the pledge to charge the Democratic nominee with being a copycat and stealing the idea from the former president.

“Now is a good time to remind everyone that #CopyCatKamala’s administration rolled out a new enforcement program JUST LAST YEAR to collect more taxes on tips! She could stop it now… but she won’t, because she’s a dishonest fraud!” Trump campaign political director James Blair posted on X. 

Trump accused Harris of copying his idea for “political purposes,” in a post to his Truth Social.

“Kamala Harris, whose “Honeymoon” period is ENDING, and is starting to get hammered in the Polls, just copied my NO TAXES ON TIPS Policy. The difference is, she won’t do it, she just wants it for Political Purposes! This was a TRUMP idea – She has no ideas, she can only steal from me. Remember, Kamala has proposed the LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN HISTORY – It won’t happen. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” Trump posted on Truth Social.

At the campaign rally, Harris said it was her “promise to everyone here, when I am president, we will continue our fight for working families of America including to raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.”

Trump’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), posted to X, “Given that she runs the government why doesn’t she do it now?”

“Besides literally stealing Trump’s NO TAX ON TIPS plan, the most pathetic part about this is that Kamala is VP right now but can’t deliver any of her promises,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) posted on X. “Kamala is a fake candidate that never received a single vote and is making fake promises she refuses to deliver NOW.”

Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., also took issue with Harris’s proposal, posting on X “Harris-Walz 2024: Stolen proposals and stolen valor!”

“Unreal! Kamala just stole President Trump’s no tax on tips. What a shameless phony,” Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, posted on X.
