Trump to visit Nevada next week, tout 'no tax on tips' policy
President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Nevada next week, according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
The trip will showcase two of the president's signature economic policies, 'no tax on tips' and 'no tax on overtime,' with Tax Day falling on Wednesday, April 15. 'No tax on tips' is particularly relevant to the Silver State, given the number of tipped service workers who could benefit.
"You'll hear a lot from the president about how his policies have benefited the American people," Leavitt said during a Wednesday press conference. "And I'm proud to report that the president will be traveling next week to the great states of Nevada and Arizona to tout this historic accomplishment over the course of the next week."
The White House did not immediately share details about what events Trump will attend in Nevada or whether he plans to endorse any Nevada politicians. Nevada Republican Party Chair Michael Mcdonald confirmed the visit will be to Las Vegas on April 16, but was still waiting on details from the White House.
There is no rally currently planned for the Nevada leg of the president's trip, but his visit to Arizona will include one hosted by Turning Point Action in Phoenix on April 17, which McDonald is also set to attend.
Trump last made a public appearance in Nevada a few days after his January 2025 inauguration, when he spoke about 'no tax on tips' in Las Vegas.
