In my home state of Louisiana, almost 68% of workers can benefit from No Tax on Overtime, and 700,000 senior citizens can benefit from No Tax on Social Security. Republicans delivered this and so much more in our Working Families Tax Cuts. But EVERY single Democrat in Congress voted AGAINST this.

The video says (transcribed automatically):

If you look across the board objectively as economists do, we have incredible, economic growth We have, we're reshoring American manufacturing we're bringing jobs back here to this country As I'm traveling around to the swing districts people are feeling that they're feeling the effect. We got we cut taxes on tips and overtime Social Security In this state almost sixty-eight percent of our workforce gets a huge benefit from no taxes on overtime. We have seven hundred thousand senior citizens no longer paying taxes on their Social Security That's because of the legislation that we passed Not a single Democrat in Congress voted for any of that. It was all Republicans on reconciliation bills Now, here's the question Do you want to turn the country back over the governance in Congress to the people who brought you five dollar gasoline under Biden and Harris and forty-year high inflation at nine point one percent? I don't think so
