“IRS Agents Union Endorses Kamala Harris, Cites Inflation Reduction Act Windfall”

The union representing the nation’s Internal Revenue Service agents announced on September 18th that it will endorse democratic candidate Kamala Harris for president in this year’s election. The Vice President has played a pivotal role in funding and expanding the IRS under president Biden.

The Inflation Reduction Act, with Harris casting the tie-breaking vote in the Senate, allocates an $80 billion boost to the IRS budget. This funding will enable the agency to hire 87,000 new employees, expanding the union’s membership.

Beyond growing the union, this IRS expansion is projected to help the agency collect an additional $5 trillion in tax revenue.
