LAS VEGAS (AP) Vice President Kamala Harris promised Saturday to work to eliminate taxes on tips paid to restaurant and other service industry employees, echoing a pledge that her opponent, Republican Donald Trump , has made, and marking a rare instance of political overlap from both sides.

Harris made the announcement at a rally on the campus of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where the economy relies heavily on the hotel, restaurant and entertainment industries. Trump vowed essentially the same thing at his own rally in the city in June though neither he nor Harris are likely to be able to fully do that without actions from Congress .

It is my promise to everyone here that, when I am president, we will continue our fight for working families of America, Harris said. Including to raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.

Trump responded on his social media site a short time later, posting that Harris just copied my NO TAXES ON TIPS Policy.

The difference is, she wont do it, she just wants it for Political Purposes!, the former president wrote. This was a TRUMP idea - She has no ideas, she can only steal from me.

Harris campaign said afterward that as president she would work with Congress to draft a proposal that includes an income limit and other provisions to keep hedge fund managers and lawyers from structuring their compensation to try to take advantage of the policy. She also would push for the proposal alongside one to increase the federal minimum wage.

Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, came to Nevada as the final stop of a five battleground-state blitz in which their party has shown new energy after President Joe Biden exited the race and endorsed Harris. On Sunday, the vice president is holding a San Francisco fundraiser that has already raised more than $12 million, her campaign said, with House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi among those set to speak.
