Positions
Economy & Taxes
The candidate has called for eliminating federal income taxes for the bottom half of U.S. earners and has criticized proposals to significantly raise taxes on the very wealthy; his public remarks emphasize lowering tax burdens for lower-income households while opposing large wealth taxes or very large tax increases on billionaires.
Immigration & Border
Supports pathways for Dreamers and broader immigration reform including changes to green card and work-visa programs; has backed corporate and philanthropic efforts that favor legal pathways for immigrants. Also faced internal pressure at Amazon over company contracts with immigration enforcement, while the company’s stated policy calls for reform rather than enforcement-first measures.

Climate & Energy
Supports aggressive corporate and philanthropic climate action, including major funding for climate science, grants, and investments in clean-energy technologies; has backed commitments for Amazon to reach 100% renewable energy and net-zero carbon across its businesses on an accelerated timetable. Focuses on funding climate research, conservation, and clean-technology deployment rather than explicitly calling for an immediate phase-out of fossil fuels.
