WHERE THEY STAND

DONALD TRUMP

Health care: Continue dismantling the Affordable Care Act, lower drug prices, limit Medicaid and Medicare.

Energy/environment: Supported withdrawing from Paris climate treaty and has taken numerous industryfriendly actions that have directly and indirectly loosened environmental regulations on energy companies and increased fossil fuel extraction opportunities.

Guns: Following school shootings, the president proposed enhanced background checks for purchasers and floated the possibility of a federal red flag law allowing police to temporarily remove guns from unstable people. He later backed away from those measures. In April, he criticized Virginia lawmakers for passing new laws that included the reforms.

Immigration: Perhaps Trump’s highest-profile issue. Limit immigration by restricting legal entry, enacting a near-ban on residents of 13 mostly Muslimmajority countries, building a wall on the Mexican border and casting some who are in the country illegally as dangerous criminals. In April Trump issued a two-month moratorium on issuing green cards to preserve jobs for Americans, he said.

JOE BIDEN

Health care: As Obama’s vice president, strongly supported the Affordable Care Act; would protect and expand it and add a public insurance purchase option.

Energy/environment: Early acknowledger of climate change and holder of a solid environmental voting record. Calling for a 100 percent “clean energy economy” by 2050. Has said he opposes new fracking on federal property.

Guns: Would reinstate expired 1994 assault weapons ban he helped pass and regulate current assault-style guns. Supports assault-weapon buybacks, expanded background checks, red flag laws and a ban on internet gun sales.

Immigration: Would roll back Trump anti-immigration measures such as limiting asylum-seekers at the border and making migrants wait outside the country. Has worked to distance himself from high Obama-era deportation numbers. Would consider a wall as part of more comprehensive reforms – in fact voted for the Secure Fence Act, a sort of prewall.
