'No Tax on Tips' May Fall Flat for G.O.P. in Midterm Fight
Original: 'No Tax on Tips' May Fall Flat for G.O.P. in Fight for House and Senate https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/04/us/politics/t
Republicans are betting on their 'No Tax on Tips' proposal as a selling point ahead of the battles for the House and Senate, but the pledge may resonate less with voters than hoped. In states like Arizona, where service workers are a key constituency, the issue appears to be falling flat as a campaign draw, complicating G.O.P. efforts to hold or gain congressional seats in the midterms.
Why now: The 2026 midterm elections are approaching and parties are testing which economic messages actually move voters.
