Sen. Ted Cruz announced that the U.S. Senate unanimously passed his “No Tax on Tips Act,” which exempts tips from federal income tax—a major win for President Trump’s agenda.
The bill, backed by Trump during his campaign, aims to support millions of workers relying on tips.
Cruz formed a bipartisan coalition to advance the bill, which now heads to the GOP-controlled House. The legislation allows full deductions for tipped wages and includes safeguards to ensure only traditionally tipped workers qualify.
Cruz emphasized the bill’s impact on blue-collar families. Top Democrats like Sen. Jackie Rosen also praised the measure for helping working Americans like servers and delivery drivers.
