Trump Promises Major Tax Cuts at Las Vegas Rally
At a lively rally in Las Vegas, former President Donald Trump energized his supporters with promises of sweeping tax cuts and pro-worker policies. Speaking to an enthusiastic crowd at the World Market Center, Trump made bold pledges to eliminate federal taxes on Social Security income, overtime and tips, part of a broader appeal to working-class voters.
Trump emphasized these tax cuts as a means of easing financial burdens on retirees and service industry workers, crucial in Nevada's hospitality-driven economy. He framed these proposals as part of his "America First" agenda, aiming to bolster domestic financial independence.
“When I'm back in that beautiful White House, we will pass larger tax cuts for workers. And we have a special tax that here is going to do, I think, quite well. It's called no tax on tips. No tax. No tax on tips. Did you see when I announced that a long time ago, all of a sudden she announced it and she was met with rebuke,” Trump said.
Trump’s "No Tax on Tips" policy resonated with the crowd, particularly in a state where the hospitality industry plays a significant role.
Meanwhile US Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, rallied supporters in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
Harris made several jabs toward the former US. President and Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, who she debated at a high-stakes debate.
“It was the same old show, the same tired playbook we've heard for years,” Harris said.
“Someone who suggests we should terminate the Constitution of the United States of America, should never again stand behind the seal of the president of the United States. Never again,” She added.
Pennsylvania, considered a battleground state in the 2024 general election, has been a frequent stop on the campaign trail for both presidential candidates.
