Ten main national security issues show stark differences between President Donald Trump (R) and former vice president Joe Biden (D) and how they would defend American interests at home and abroad.

The Center for Security Policy has created its National Security Voter Guide for the 2020 elections to help the public understand at a glance the differences between the two candidates.
