As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to return to the Oval Office, many are wondering which changes he will implement that will significantly impact Nevada.

One notable proposal is his plan to eliminate taxes on tips, which could affect hundreds of thousands of Nevadans. During the election cycle, we discussed the origins of this idea with Eric Trump.

"The whole concept of no tax on tips came from a waitress at Trump International Hotel on the strip, which, you know, I spent five years of my life building.

She came up to my father and said, you know, listen, I've worked here forever, and it's so unfair; we work so hard, and we work for tips, and we just get decimated on taxes. And my father says, huh, that doesn't seem very fair, I love this no tax on tips," said Eric Trump.

Democrats have focused on Project 2025, a 900-page conservative agenda that Donald Trump has disavowed. However, Trump has expressed his intent to implement a mass deportation program for undocumented immigrants, which is outlined in the plan.

The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy estimates there are nearly 170,000 undocumented immigrants in Nevada. Vice President candidate JD Vance has suggested that the administration may work to end birthright citizenship, which could lead to the deportation of their children.

"One of the reasons why we have such a border crisis is you have somebody who comes in, maybe they're not a bad person, of course, but you can't have someone that breaks the laws, and now their child has permanent rights to American citizenship.

I don't think that's what the founders of the country envisioned. The idea is if you were born here, you have a stake here, but that doesn't apply to if you broke the laws; you're allowed into the country. Which is, of course, what a lot of illegal aliens have done fundamentally," said Vice President-Elect JD Vance in July.

A key concern about Project 2025 is the possibility of a federal abortion ban, despite Trump claiming he won't enforce one. He likely wouldn't have enough congressional support to pass such a ban, similar to Biden's inability to repeal the Supreme Court ruling that allows states to determine abortion access.

During the general election, Nevada voters approved a ballot initiative to enshrine abortion access in the state constitution, strengthening the state's defense against potential federal intervention.
