LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Former President Donald Trump chose a local restaurant as the backdrop for his "No Tax on Tips" campaign event in Las Vegas on Friday.
Hours before the rally was scheduled to start at 12 p.m., scores of Trump's supporters lined the road outside the restaurant. Channel 13 anchor Joe Moeller asked a few of them what they wanted to hear from the former president today:

The Trump campaign announced plans for the event last weekend as part of a multi-state barnstorming effort by Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, to coincide with the Democratic National Convention.
Trump first brought up the "No Tax on Tips" policy idea at a campaign event in Las Vegas in June, where he pledged to remove the federal tax on tipped wages if he is reelected.
A few weeks later, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) introduced the No Tax on Tips Act, which has been endorsed by Nevada Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen.
