Positions
Healthcare
Supports protecting and restoring Affordable Care Act marketplace subsidies and Medicaid coverage lost from 2025 actions, emphasizes making basic health care affordable and accessible, and says he has not endorsed Medicare for All but would support it if practical and political obstacles to implementation can be addressed.
Immigration & Border
The campaign issues page emphasizes healthcare access and notes that many uninsured are undocumented, while calling for restoration of ACA and Medicaid protections; it does not lay out a specific border or immigration enforcement policy. Public materials include general, humanitarian-framed references to undocumented people but lack concrete proposals on asylum, deportations, or border enforcement.
