US Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, following her main political opponent Donald Trump, called for the abolition of tip taxes in the country.
„I promise everyone here that when I become president, we will continue to fight for working families, including raising the minimum wage and eliminating tip taxes for service and hospitality businesses,” she told August 10, speaking at a rally in Las Vegas, Nevada. The broadcast was carried out by the central television channels.
Harris noted that if he wins the election, he will take measures to lower prices in the US. “I will stand up to big corporations who illegally raise prices, corporate landlords who unfairly inflate rents, and big pharmaceutical companies to limit prescription drug costs for all Americans,” she said.
Republican US presidential candidate Trump has previously spoken out repeatedly in favor of eliminating tip taxes.
The presidential elections in the country will be held on November 5. The Democratic Party was expected to be represented by the current US leader, Joe Biden, but after his disastrous performance in the June debate with Trump, calls among Democrats for the president to withdraw from the fight began to grow louder. On July 21, he decided to withdraw from the race and endorsed Harris' nomination for the state's highest office.
