The Trump campaign has launched a new website, KamalaTaxIncrease.com, aimed at giving voters a clear picture of how much more they’d be paying in taxes under a potential Kamala Harris presidency. The site breaks down exactly what each state would face if the Trump tax cuts, passed in 2017, expire as planned. The message is clear: higher taxes across the board, especially in blue states, as reported by Fox News.
“Kamala Harris voted against the Trump tax cuts and will let them expire if she’s elected,” the site warns, noting that Democrats will work alongside Harris to ensure more of your hard-earned money ends up in Washington’s coffers. According to data from the Tax Foundation, should these tax cuts expire, taxpayers will see significant hikes.
The site features a U.S. map showing state-by-state tax burdens. For instance, residents of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin could see an extra $2,000 per year in taxes. In Florida, the average increase sits at $3,505, while those in Nevada face an average $3,523 hike, and Wyoming could see a spike of $4,254. Blue states like California and Washington, where leftist policies dominate, face even steeper costs, with Californians set to pay $3,360 more and Washingtonians looking at an eye-watering $4,375 increase.

Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt didn’t mince words, saying, “The choice is simple: more money in your pockets with President Trump or higher taxes with Kamala Harris.” This stark contrast is central to Trump’s re-election bid, with promises of making his 2017 tax cuts permanent.
🚨NEW: The Trump campaign unveiled a website Tuesday that tabulates how much voters in each state can expect to pay in taxes if the Trump tax cuts expire next year.

While Harris has vowed not to raise taxes on individuals making under $400,000 a year, her record and proposals suggest otherwise. The vice president has floated increasing corporate tax rates and boosting small business tax deductions tenfold. The left’s approach is clear: higher taxes, bigger government, and fewer dollars in the pockets of hardworking Americans.
Adding fuel to the fire, a letter from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, backed by 500 businesses, calls on lawmakers to keep the Trump tax cuts in place. They warn that letting these cuts expire could trigger “the largest tax increase in American history.” Pro-growth tax policies, they argue, are crucial for keeping the U.S. competitive on the global stage, retaining jobs, and boosting workers’ wages.
Trump, never shy about his plans, made his stance clear at a recent rally, promising massive tax cuts for all classes if re-elected. The choice for voters this November couldn’t be starker: stick with Trump and keep your hard-earned cash, or choose Harris and get ready for a tax hike.
