The Culinary Workers Union in Nevada endorsed a plan by Vice President Kamala Harris to end taxes on tips for service workers two months after former President Donald Trump proposed the same plan.

During a rally in Las Vegas on Aug. 10, Harris said that she would back ending taxes on tips if elected president, mirroring a policy proposal put forward by Trump at the beginning of June.
