Republican vice presidential candidate Sen. JD Vance took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris for plagiarizing the policies of former President Trump during an event in Michigan on Tuesday, one of several times the 2024 Republican presidential ticket has knocked their Democrat opponent for seemingly copying them.

“Kamala’s advisers are considering adopting all of Donald Trump’s policies. … I’ve heard that for her debate in a few weeks, she’s going to put on a navy suit, a long red tie and adopt the slogan ‘Make America Great Again,’” the Ohio Republican said during the remarks.

“When I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips,” Trump said at the time. “We’re not going to do it, and we’re going to do that right away, first thing in office, because it’s been a point of contention for years and years and years.”

Trump spent much of the next few months touting the proposal, a fact not lost on the former president when he heard Harris had announced the same thing two months later.

“This was a TRUMP idea – She has no ideas, she can…
