President Biden would “absolutely” sign legislation to eliminate taxes on tipped wages if it made it to his desk, the White House said Monday, embracing a policy first proposed by former President Trump and echoed by Vice President Harris.
“Look, this is something that the president supports,” press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a briefing. “He supports eliminating taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers while also raising minimum wage and preventing the wealthy from gaming the system.”
Jean-Pierre argued such a proposal would align with Biden’s efforts to support working Americans and build the economy “from the bottom up and the middle out.”
Biden had not previously spoken about the concept publicly. Trump first raised the idea in June at a rally in Nevada, which is a battleground state and home to thousands of service industry workers.
