Trump Pledges to Eliminate Federal Income Taxes on Tips in New Campaign Promise
Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, made a new campaign vow in Las Vegas, Nevada, promising to end federal taxes on tip-related income for blue-collar service industry workers.
Speaking at a campaign rally in Las Vegas, Trump declared, “So this is the first time I’ve said this – and for those hotel workers and people that get tips, you’re going to be very happy – because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips, people making tips: We’re not going to do it.”
Trump’s announcement was broadcast live on Newsmax and the Newsmax2 streaming platform.
Nevada, a key battleground state, has a large voting and working-class base that relies on tip-related income, making Trump’s campaign pledge particularly relevant. The state is also known for its hospitality industry, where many workers depend on tips for their livelihood.
“You do a great job of service,” Trump continued. “You take care of people, and I think it’s going to be something that really is deserved.”
By promising to end taxes on tip income, Trump aims to reward service industry workers who put in extra effort.
Trump’s campaign vow is seen as an appeal to union workers in a bid to secure their votes against President Joe Biden.
“If we win Nevada, we win the whole thing,” Trump declared, emphasizing the state’s importance in the upcoming election.
Off-prompter, Trump displayed his usual banter and humor, urging his rallygoers to enjoy the desert breeze and avoid succumbing to the heat.
