Harris proposes eliminating taxes on tips; following Trump’s pledge months ago
Speaking to a rally in Nevada two months ago, former President Donald Trump pledged to eliminate taxes on tips.

But is it possible to steal an idea such as that? KSL at Night host Leah Murray offers her insights on how the Harris campaign could have messaged the idea better in order to prevent claims of copycatting.

But the actual process is much more complicated. Maura Carabello, KSL at Night host and President/Owner of The Exoro Group talks with Leah about legislative conferences and how they can guide legislators around the country to pass very similar legislation in their respective states.
