§3What they've said on the issues
Why this matters: These are positions the candidate has stated publicly — on their campaign website or in public statements — summarized in plain words with a link to where they said it. Issues they haven't spoken about publicly are left out.
Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.
Each issue has its own range of views. A position is marked on that range only when the candidate's own statement clearly matches one option; there is no overall left–right score.
Social Security and Medicare
His campaign website says he supports immediate, broad drug price negotiation without artificial limits on which drugs are included.7
- Repeal or scale back negotiation
- Keep the program as it is
- Expand it to more drugs and to people with private insurance
Foreign Policy and Defense
His campaign website says Congress must fully exercise its constitutional responsibility before authorizing the use of force and that war must always be a last resort.8
- Let the president order military action without needing Congress's approval
- Let the president act first, but enforce the 60-day limit and end any action Congress doesn't approve
- Require Congress to approve military action in advance, except to defend against an attack
Taxes and Budget
His campaign website says the federal budget must be brought under control by eliminating loopholes and reducing spending to the minimum required to maintain essential services, and that the country cannot sustain current levels of spending.9
- Increase overall federal spending
- Hold overall spending near current levels
- Cut overall federal spending
- Cut spending enough to balance the budget within 10 years
§4Money
Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left. Outside groups that spend on their own, without coordinating with the campaign, report that too.
