LAS VEGAS — Rep. Steven Horsford, Nevada Democrat and chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, has signed on to a GOP-sponsored House bill to make tipped wages tax-free.

Horsford, a four-term House member who escorted President Biden during the latter’s abortive Vegas visit last week, came out Sunday in support of Vice President Kamala Harris’s bid to become the Democrat’s Presidential candidate.

The House measure, introduced by Rep. Byron Donalds, Florida Republican, apparently mirrors a Senate bill launched July 9 by Sen. Ted Cruz, Texas Democrat.
