Every now and then we'll spot Democrats who are running for office while saying that President Trump is a "threat to democracy" prove that their rhetoric is total BS by attempting to steal his policies and claim them as their own.
With the midterms just over three months off, here's one of the latest examples.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is also getting in on the action.
Fewer taxes. Bigger paychecks.

We're ending state income taxes on up to $25,000 in tipped income.
That’s $67 million back in the pockets of New Yorkers like Lucas and the team at Vinateria this year alone. pic.twitter.com/PATY4Fq7Rs
They could at least credit Trump with giving them the idea but of course that won't happen.
Where...have I heard that before?

Leave it to a Dem to take credit for something that's already been done.

So now you have resorted to copying Trump since your failed policies are shedding voters.

You might recall that Kamala Harris did something similar during the 2024 campaign by blatantly stealing a Trump campaign promise.
JUST IN: Harris campaign STEALS President Trump's "NO TAX ON TIPS" proposal…
