Vice President Kamala Harris has pledged to eliminate taxes on tips paid to service employees, mirroring a similar promise by Donald Trump. This announcement was made during a rally at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, a city reliant on the service economy.

Harris emphasized continued support for working families, including a commitment to raise the minimum wage. This promise echoes the policy agenda initially set by President Biden before his exit from the race. Harris's campaign has found new energy, particularly among Latino voters and the middle class.

The vice president also highlighted her plans to tackle immigration reform, advocating for an "earned pathway to citizenship" and criticizing Trump's stance on border security. With the backing of crucial unions, Harris aims to consolidate support in key battleground states like Nevada.
