THE LIE: Kamala & Walz claim Trump “blocked overtime benefits for millions of workers”

THE LIE: Kamala Harris claims Trump “blocked overtime benefits.”

THE TRUTH: This is a lie that has been fact-checked by multiple outlets.

Here are the facts:

• President Obama proposed an overtime rule that was blocked by a judge.

• The ruling was blocked in 2016 under Obama’s administration, not Trump’s.

• To not be blocked, Trump created his own overtime rule with different conditions.

• Trump’s overtime ruling brought earnings higher than the status quo.

• The Trump Labor Department estimates that 1.2 million additional workers were then eligible for overtime pay.

Politifact reports:

“Trump’s administration did not take action to cut an existing benefit; the Obama rule was not in effect at the time Trump took office. We rate this Mostly False.”

WALZ: “Trump blocked overtime for millions of workers.”

FAKE NEWS — Obama’s overtime rule was blocked by a judge (under Obama), so President Trump created his own overtime rule that made 1.2 million workers eligible for OT pay.
