President Trump won over James Benson, a Michigan autoworker and lifelong Democrat, by announcing a new tax deduction for car loan interest on American-made vehicles. The policy, pitched as part of a "big, beautiful bill," seems aimed at appealing to blue-collar workers in key manufacturing states.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another tax policy—it’s a political play. By dangling financial perks for autoworkers, Trump’s team is clearly trying to chip away at traditional Democratic strongholds ahead of the election. Whether it moves the needle or not, it shows how economic policies are being weaponized for votes.
