Thu Sep 12 23:15:55 UTC 2024: ## Trump Pledges to Eliminate Overtime Taxes in Second Term Bid
**Tucson, Arizona** – Former President Donald Trump has announced he will push for legislation to eliminate taxes on overtime pay if he wins a second term. Speaking at a campaign rally in Arizona, a crucial battleground state, Trump touted the move as part of his plan for “additional tax cuts.”
“Today, I’m also announcing that as part of our additional tax cuts, we will end all taxes on overtime. You know what that means? Think of that,” Trump exclaimed. He argued that this policy would incentivize work for both employees and employers.
Trump’s proposal comes on the heels of his previous pledges to eliminate taxes on tips and exempt seniors from paying taxes on their Social Security benefits. He specifically highlighted the contributions of overtime workers, citing professions like police officers, nurses, factory workers, and construction workers.
This latest policy announcement comes as Trump faces a tight race in Arizona, which President Biden won by a narrow margin in 2020. Vice President Kamala Harris has been actively campaigning in the state, making it a priority for Democrats.
