LAS VEGAS When Jesse Law, chair of the Clark County Republican Party , took the microphone to address a room full of evangelical Christian volunteers before they hit the doors on a sizzling hot Saturday morning in late September, he made sure to cast the Republican message in faith-based terms.

He encouraged the volunteers, who are affiliated with the American Christian Caucus, to talk to voters about really great solutions that are founded in the Bible and in Christianity.

What solutions? Mainly, exempting workers tips from federal taxes.

When I bring up Trump or Harris, everyone is automatically already forming opinions, some of them divined from media, Law said. If you just bring up tax on tips to any of the service workers, they know exactly what that is, and that value is what resonates and brings us together.

In fact, the idea of no tax on tips has less to do with the Bible and more to do with former President Donald Trump s attempts to bring Nevada into the Republican column for the first time since 2004. Trump shook up the race for the Battle Born State in June when he announced the proposal at a rally in Las Vegas, claiming he got the idea after speaking with a server at a Las Vegas hotel.
