Immigration & Border
The candidate supports stronger border enforcement and construction of the U.S.–Mexico border wall and has defended aggressive immigration enforcement including deporting people living in the country illegally. He has repeatedly praised his father’s border policies as having ‘fixed’ the problem and urged action by the federal government and Congress to ‘fix’ immigration laws. Public statements emphasize enforcement and border-security measures rather than expanded legalization pathways or asylum protections.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate has defended the Republican platform’s removal of a federal abortion ban and framed abortion policy as a states’ rights issue, while echoing party language condemning late‑term abortions and supporting fertility treatments and birth control. His public comments downplay pursuing a national ban and emphasize leaving determinations to state legislation or votes.
Climate & Energy
Opposes large-scale subsidized wind power and emphasizes cheap, domestic energy production including fossil fuels and expanded nuclear; criticizes renewables as heavily subsidized and supports exploiting U.S. energy reserves to strengthen the economy. Positions emphasize energy affordability and industrial/national advantages from increased domestic production rather than aggressive emissions regulations or Green New Deal–style policies.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate identifies as a strong Second Amendment supporter but has expressed support for some additional restrictions, including raising the purchase age for certain guns to 21 and backing more comprehensive background checks. Statements emphasize keeping firearms out of the hands of dangerous or irresponsible people while preserving gun ownership for law-abiding citizens.

Other reports tie Trump-backed politics to 2026 races, with polling suggesting the MAGA label can be a liability for some Republican candidates and Democrats trying to make corruption tied to Trump and his allies a major midterm issue.
