Trump is dangling a lot of promises for a second term as he seeks support in new spaces

Former President Donald Trump lately has dangled some very specific promises to his audiences.
Former President Donald Trump lately has dangled some very specific promises to his audiences. At a Las Vegas campaign rally on Sunday, for example, Trump pledged to exempt tips from income taxes, a proposal tailor-made for the hundreds of thousands of people working in America’s tourism capital. Speaking at the Libertarian convention a couple weeks earlier, Trump vowed to put one of the party’s own in his cabinet and more throughout his government if reelected to the White House — an assurance that briefly halted the cacophony of boos that confronted him there. And before that, Trump professed to Michigan autoworkers his plans to unravel President Joe Biden’s policies supporting electric vehicles, insisting it will protect their livelihoods. As Trump goes around the country in search of new supporters, he is leaving behind explicit guarantees for voters to consider. Often, the target audience is a demographic his campaign has singled out for its potential to sway a race both sides expect will be won on the margins. Trump’s pledge to end taxes on tips came on the same day his campaign announced Latino Americans for Trump, an initiative to mobilize one of the fastest-growing voting blocs in the country. In Nevada, one in four workers are employed by the hospitality industry and about one in five residents are Hispanic – with considerable overlap between the two groups. “For those hotel workers and people that get tips, you’re going to be very happy because when I get to office, we are going to not charge taxes on tips,” Trump said during the rally.

A Justice Department watchdog has found that former Attorney General Bill Barr was personally involved in the decision to publicize an incident from the 2020 election – nine mail-in ballots for Donald Trump being discarded in a dumpster in Pennsylvania – that flamed the false narrative of widespread voter fraud.

President Joe Biden is expected to be as forceful as he has ever been in urging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to accept a ceasefire agreement when the two leaders meet privately at the White House Thursday afternoon, sources tell CNN, as US officials believe that a deal may be on the cusp.
