Biden has made protecting American democracy a central focus of his campaign,[8][9] along with restoring the federal right to an abortion following the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade.[10] Biden has stated his intention to increase funding for border patrol and security,[10][11] and increased funding for law enforcement coupled with police reform.[12] Biden has promised to support, protect and expand LGBT rights and previously took several measures during his presidency to that effect.[10] Biden has frequently touted his previous passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the Chips and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act's landmark[13][14] investment to combat climate change; all of which are expected to invest $1 to $2 trillion in industrial policy over 10 years.[15]
Biden has made strengthening U.S. alliances a key goal of his foreign policy[16] and has promised to continue supporting Ukraine following the Russian invasion of Ukraine and Israel following the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel, describing them as "vital" to U.S. national security interests. Biden has promised to continue efforts to tackle gun violence and defend the Affordable Care Act following comments Trump made suggesting he would repeal the law.[17][10] Biden has proposed increasing taxes on the wealthy through a "billionaire minimum income tax" to reduce the deficit and fund social services for the poor.[18][10]
Biden's trade policy has been described as rejecting traditional neoliberal economic policy and the Washington Consensus that resulted in the offshoring of manufacturing and thus resulted in increased populist backlash.[19] Biden has proposed and enacted targeted tariffs against strategic Chinese industries to protect manufacturing jobs and counter China's technological and military ambitions.[20]
On March 12, 2024, Biden became the Democratic Party presumptive nominee after clinching enough delegates in Georgia, and did not face any significant primary challengers.[21]
