2020 DE Senatorial race: on War & Peace


Chris Coons: Not consulting Congress on war weakens us in the world

A democracy, when we go to war, is stronger when the Constitution is followed and the people's representatives authorize that conflict. I think that strengthens our resolve as a nation and I think that strengthens our hand in the world. To ignore Congress, to not even consult with us, let alone seek authorization, I think weakens us on the world stage.

Lauren Witzke: America should not meddle in the affairs of other nations

Lauren will put America First. Our military will be strengthened but used strictly for the defense of our nation at home. She will not support meddling in the affairs of foreign nations, and rejects regime change abroad. Foreign aid will be ended except in the events of natural disasters, and funds will be re-diverted towards Family Restoration efforts and American infrastructure.
