Vice President Kamala Harris ripped a page from Donald Trump’s playbook late Saturday, telling Nevada hotel, restaurant and service workers she too will try to end taxes on tips like her Republican rival proposed weeks ago.

“It is my promise to everyone here that, 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.”” Harris told a rally at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.

Trump first proposed such an idea during his own trip to Nevada back in June.

He quickly responded on his Truth Social platform, suggesting she had misappropriated his idea to save face with the service industry at the heart of Las Vegas entertainment mecca.

“Kamala has no imagination, whatsoever, as shown by the fact that she played ‘COPYCAT’ with, NO TAXES ON TIPS!” he wrote.

“How long will it be before Kamala Harris comes out with another TRUMP policy like, ‘No Taxes will be paid by our Senior Citizens on Social Security?’ She’s looking really bad now! Everyone is waiting to see what idea, or policy of mine, she will copy next,” he added.
