"We are in a battle for the soul of America. It’s time to remember who we are. We’re Americans: tough and resilient. We choose hope over fear. Science over fiction. Truth over lies. And unity over division. We treat each other with dignity, we leave nobody behind, and we give hate no safe harbor. We are the United States of America. And together, there is not a single thing we cannot do."

A moderate that values compromise and negotiation above all else
  • Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania from a middle-class family. Understands the struggles the blue collar Americans has to go through.
  • Assumed office as the 47th President and was re-elected back in 2012. When the nation was reeling under the effects of a global recession, was entrusted with the responsibility of implementing and overseeing the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which has helped to rebuild the U.S. economy.
  • Served as Senator from Delaware for 36 years.  Famous for his work on criminal justice issues, especially the 1994 Crime Law and the Violence Against Women Act.
  • Worked with President Obama with major accomplishments like the Affordable Care Act and Dodd Frank Reform.
  • Immigration- 
     It is no secret that our immigration system is broken, and for years, we have lacked the political will to fix it. I will make sure to secure our borders and enforce our laws without tossing aside our values, our principles, and our humanity. Separating children from their parents is not the solution to the problem. We have got to address the root causes of migration that push people to leave behind their homes and everything they know to undertake a dangerous journey for the chance at a better life.​ 
      I will not decriminalize border crossings on US-Mexico border because I think people should have to get in line and wait their turn just like others who came legally before them did. However, I believe their expectations, special cases like if people are coming for asylum.  In that case , they should have a chance to make their case. I am against Trump’s push for a wall at the U.S-Mexico border. His policies “assault the dignity of the Latin community.”

  • Healthcare- 
     The Opioid epidemic has affected our communities and schools. I have many high school students who have lost one or both parents to heroin. Teachers are on the front lines daily, witnessing these tragedies. How will you tackle this problem in general, but specifically what will you offer people in rural communities where rehabilitation is not easily accessed and access to jobs is difficult?​
     A public health plan (Affordable Care Act) is needed that is intended to preserve the most popular parts of Obamacare — from Medicaid expansion to protections for patients with preexisting conditions — and build on them with a new government-run public insurance option.

  • Abortion-
     By changing policies depending on how severe to make them fairer to all participants. Even though I do not personally agree with abortion personally, I still want to make sure it is done safely. We should be focusing on how to limit the number of abortions because many  people don’t understand the consequences it can have. ​​ 
     I would definitely seek to add a justice that values women’s reproductive rights. I feel like a variety of views should be seen in the Supreme so every citizen could feel that they have a voice.  Right now, we have an unprecedented assault on choice in this country. We need to take it back, it is the right thing to do.

  • 2nd Amendment- 
     There should be specific requirements for a person to buy weapons. Such as a universal background checks, an assault weapons ban, more resources toward the enforcement of existing laws, a public push for the development of “smart guns,” and incentives for states to adopt “red flag” laws. Red flag laws will allow courts to confiscate guns from people deemed a risk to themselves or others and develop gun-licensing systems.

  • Climate Change-
​     Global climate change has already had observable effects on the environment as stated in the question. Our glaciers are shrinking, rivers are freezing, plant and animal natural habitats are shifting and whole ecosystems in general are changing. I was the one to introduce the very first climate change bill in the senate in 1986, I also helped to orchestrate GREEN JOBS under the administration of Obama. I supported landmark regulations on coal plants and automobile tailpipe emissions as vice president, and helped to secure the Paris Agreement, the 2015 pact to limit the rise of global temperatures. I have always cared about this issue because I know it doesn’t only affect the American people but the whole world.
​
  • Taxes/ Economy-
​     I want a pro-growth, progressive tax code. I propose raising the top income tax rate back to 39.6%, making those with annual incomes over $1 million pay 39.6% on capital gains instead of 20%, reducing tax expenditures that benefit investors or job creators and closing tax loopholes like stepped-up basis in order to pay for programs like Social Security and Medicare.
