Positions
LiberalConservative
Economy & Taxes
Supports policies that protect and expand social programs (opposing cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security) and proposes targeted tax/credit measures to help small farms while returning tariff authority to Congress and limiting presidential tariff powers.
Healthcare
Supports protecting and preserving Medicare, Medicaid, and children’s health insurance from proposed federal cuts and funding losses; opposes budget measures that would reduce coverage and cause rural hospital closures and pledges to work across parties to prevent those cuts and restore federal support for health-related research and services. Focuses on affordability and preventing reductions in government healthcare programs rather than advocating wholesale privatization or Medicare-for-All.
