• October 2026 · His campaign siteFree markets

  He says Congress should take tariff decisions back from the president, without taking a position on tariffs themselves.

  “Bring tariff decisions back to Congress, because farmers shouldn’t have to pay for trade wars they had no vote in.”

  By the test I use for votes

  ?Not clear either way

  The rule he names is about who decides, not about whether broad tariffs are right, so it does not settle one side.

• October 2026 · His campaign siteBorders

  He lists securing the border and creating legal pathways together, without naming a path to citizenship for people here illegally or a deportation policy.

  “Fixing that system means securing the border, creating workable legal pathways, and clearing the backlogs that leave people in limbo for years.”

  By the test I use for votes

  ?Not clear either way

  The sentence joins a with element and an unspecified legal pathway, so it does not settle one side.
