Political Claim of 'No Tax on Tips'
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tried to claim credit for the 'no tax on tips' idea embraced by Vice President Kamala Harris, which was previously proposed by former President Donald Trump. Harris copied Trump's policy during a campaign rally to appeal to unionized culinary workers in Las Vegas. Jean-Pierre struggled to explain when the Biden-Harris administration had ever adopted this policy, eventually admitting it was a 'new idea.'
