Trump’s ad attacks Harris for a tax program that doesn’t exist

“Don’t let Kamala Harris fool you. Not only does Harris support taxing service workers’ tips, news reports confirm Biden and Harris have weaponized the IRS to confiscate your tip money. Biden and Harris have literally unleashed the IRS to harass workers who receive tips.”

— Voice-over of Trump campaign ad, released Sunday

One of Vice President Kamala Harris’s first policy proposals after formally securing the Democratic nomination for president was to support ending federal income taxes on tips. Former president Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, immediately cried foul, saying she stole an idea that he announced in June. Harris announced her proposal earlier this month in Nevada, a battleground state with a gaming and hospitality industry where many workers receive much of their income in tips.
