Kamala Swipes Yet Another Trump Policy, This Time About Steel

Vice President Kamala Harris is pushing yet another economic policy that was first embraced by the Trump campaign.

Harris announced she would keep U.S. Steel under domestic ownership during a campaign stop in Pittsburgh on Monday.

“U.S. Steel is an historic American company, and it is vital for our nation to maintain strong American steel companies,” Harris said. “U.S. Steel should remain American-owned and American-operated.”

Back in January, former President Donald Trump said he would block the sale of U.S. Steel to Nippon Steel, Japan’s largest steelmaker, if he were elected president again. Nippon has put forward a $15 billion proposal to acquire the American company.

“I would block it instantaneously. Absolutely,” Trump said. “We saved the steel industry. Now, US Steel is being bought by Japan. So terrible.”

Then, in March, President Joe Biden also voiced his opposition to the sale.

“U.S. Steel has been an iconic American steel company for more than a century, and it is vital for it to remain an American steel company that is domestically owned and operated,” Biden said in March.

This is at least the third time Harris has copied a policy first put forward by her opponent this election cycle.

The Democratic nominee blindsided Democrats last month when she adopted Trump’s viral “no tax on tips” proposal, announcing that she supported getting rid of taxes on service workers’ tips.

“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,” she said at a rally in Las Vegas.

Trump had announced his “no tax on tips” policy just weeks earlier after his own June rally in Las Vegas, an area with a large service and hospitality industry due to the city’s tourism attractions.

Trump supporters promoted the policy by writing “no tax on tips” on restaurant receipts to encourage service workers to vote for Trump. Trump himself wrote the message on a receipt when he tipped $500 during a visit to a Philadelphia cheesesteak restaurant.

After his opponent embraced the policy, the Trump campaign accused her of stealing it.

“Kamala Harris, whose ‘Honeymoon’ period is ENDING, and is starting to get hammered in the Polls, just copied my NO TAXES ON TIPS Policy,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “The difference is, she won’t do it, she just wants it for Political Purposes! This was a TRUMP idea – She has no ideas, she can only steal from me. Remember, Kamala has proposed the LARGEST TAX INCREASE IN HISTORY – It won’t happen. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”

The Harris campaign announced Friday that she supports a $6,000 child tax credit.

That announcement came just days after Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), Trump’s running mate, said he would support doubling the child tax credit to $5,000.

“I’d love to see a child tax credit that’s $5,000 per child,” Vance said in an interview with CBS.
