Trump and Vance persist in criticizing Harris for mimicking their policy proposals.

During a Michigan event on Tuesday, Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance accused Vice President Harris of plagiarizing former President Trump's policies. This is just one of several instances where the 2024 Republican presidential ticket has criticized their Democrat opponent for allegedly copying their ideas.

Kamala's advisers are considering adopting all of Donald Trump's policies, including a navy suit, long red tie, and the slogan "Make America Great Again," according to an Ohio Republican who spoke during the remarks.

A few weeks after Trump accused Harris of waiting for him to release an economic agenda during a rally in North Carolina, similar remarks were made.

Trump stated that Harris is waiting for him to reveal her economic plans so she can copy them.

Despite facing criticism over her policy positions and refusal to speak with the media, Harris remains a prominent figure in American politics.

Although Harris has introduced new policy suggestions, including $25,000 in down payment assistance for first-time home buyers, some of her campaign trail ideas have been strikingly similar to Trump's.

NO TAXES ON TIPS

At an Aug. 11 rally in Nevada, Harris declared that she would abolish taxes on tipped wages.

During the event in Las Vegas, Harris pledged to continue fighting for working families as president, including raising the minimum wage and eliminating taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.

Trump made the same promise at a June 9 event in Las Vegas, but the pledge was not fulfilled until almost two months later.

"We're not going to charge taxes on tips when I get to office," Trump stated. "It's been a contentious issue for a long time, and we're going to address it immediately upon taking office."

The former president noticed that Harris had announced the same proposal that Trump had been promoting for several months.

"Trump claimed on Truth Social that the idea was his, stating that she lacked original thoughts and could only take from him, all for political reasons."

RAISING THE CHILD TAX CREDIT

During a recent interview on CBS' "Face the Nation," Vance suggested increasing the Child Tax Credit from $2,000 to $5,000 per child.

"Vance stated that he would like to see a $5,000 child tax credit for each child. President Trump has long supported a larger child tax credit, and Vance believes it should be applicable to all American families."

Five days after, on Aug. 17, Harris presented her own economic plan, which included offering a $6,000 tax credit to newborn parents and reinstating the Child Tax Credit's pandemic-era increase, allowing some taxpayers to receive up to a $3,600 credit instead of the usual $2,000.

FLIP-FLOPS?

Harris has been accused of "flip-flopping" on other policy positions, adopting positions more akin to Trump's than she previously held.

Harris has reversed her stance on fracking, stating that she does not support a ban on the oil extraction technique that is popular in key swing states such as Pennsylvania.

During a 2019 CNN town hall event, Harris stated that she was in favor of banning fracking, which was in contrast to her current position on the issue.

Harris stated that on day one, we can take action around public lands in California, where she has a history of working on this issue.

Harris has publicly distanced herself from her support for "Medicare for All" and semiautomatic rifle buyback programs, which she previously championed during her primary campaign but has since abandoned.

Harris has been accused of softening her stance on a wall to safeguard the southern border, as critics argue that her support for bipartisan border legislation that mandated the use of unspent funds for the continuation of the barrier construction contradicts her earlier statements.

"According to Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., the Harris position requires the Trump border wall, which is outlined in the bill and specifies the construction standards, height, and type that were established during the Trump administration."

The Axios report revealed that Lankford's office estimated that $650 million would be used on a wall instead of the $18 billion requested by Trump in 2018, while the Harris campaign argued that the legislation did not include any new money for constructing a physical barrier and only ensured the use of funds appropriated during Trump's term.

A Harris campaign spokesperson stated that the vice president has a history of advocating for an expanded Child Tax Credit, which was included in the Biden administration's American Rescue plan, providing $3,600 for children under 6 and $3,000 for children between the ages of 6 and 17.

"The spokesperson stated that Vice President Harris differs from Donald Trump and JD Vance in her stance on abortion rights, tax policies, and unity, and that she opposes their Project 2025 agenda."
