The announcement came during a campaign rally in Las Vegas on Saturday. Harris and running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz addressed a crowd of thousands, including members of Nevada's influential culinary workers union.
"It is my promise to everyone here when I am president, we will continue our fighting for working families of America, including to raise the minimum wage and eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers," Harris said to the crowd.
The vice president's support for this policy marks a significant moment in her campaign, as it represents one of the first notable economic proposals she has offered since ascending to the top of the Democratic ticket last month.
