Doug Burgum: Unite the country against our enemies like China and Putin

Doug believes we need to recognize the real threats to America and strengthen national security. Our enemies aren't our neighbors down the street. Our enemies are countries that want to see our way of life destroyed. In a country built on neighbors helping neighbors, we've become a country of neighbors fighting neighbors. We should be fighting to unite the country against our common enemies like China and Putin.

Larry Elder: Critical to strengthen America's role as the sole superpower

With the aggressive rise of Communist China, strengthening America's role as the sole superpower is critical. This includes investing in our military's readiness while keeping the Pentagon focused on national defense, not left-wing social experimentation; asserting American dominance in the South China Sea and reassuring our Pacific allies; minimizing our reliance on Chinese manufacturing; and punishing China when it unleashes a pandemic and floods America's streets with drugs.

Nikki Haley: As ambassador, forced UN votes on Cuba's human rights abuses

When Cuba offered up its annual resolution condemning the U.S. embargo on Cuba in 2018, Nikki didn't just vote against it--she used the opportunity to force UN votes on amendments condemning the communist regime's human rights abuses. She also led the United States' withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Council, highlighting the council's terrible record on human rights.

With a renewed focus on Latin America, Nikki hammered the region's communist and socialist dictators. As Venezuela became a humanitarian crisis, Nikki ratcheted up her denunciations of the socialist regime, even joining protesters outside the United Nations on the streets of New York City. She supported strong sanctions on the Venezuelan government and traveled to the Colombia-Venezuela border to highlight the crisis. Nikki also organized the first-ever meeting to condemn the socialist regime in Nicaragua, and frequently spoke out against the Cuban dictatorship.

Nikki Haley: Signed the first anti-BDS legislation in the country

Nikki has long been a strong defender of Israel. As governor, she signed the first anti-BDS legislation in the country. ["BDS" means "Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions" a pro-Palestinian anti-Israel international policy to isolate Israel economically and politically. "Anti-BDS" implies pro-Israel].

As UN ambassador, she declared "a new day for Israel at the United Nations" and vowed that "the days of Israel bashing are over." Nikki urged President Trump to move America's embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem even when other members of the administration opposed the move. Nikki changed the conversation at the UN Security Council's monthly session on the Middle East from constantly bashing Israel to highlighting real human rights crises in tyrannical countries in the Middle East. Despite opposition from the D.C. establishment, Nikki pushed for America's withdrawal from the anti-Israel UNESCO and UN Human Rights Council, and withdrawal of funding from the corrupt UNRWA.

Nikki Haley: Never trust Russia; it is never going to be our friend

When it came to denouncing Russia, Nikki did not mince words. Her first speech before the UN Security Council in 2017 criticized Russia for invading Ukraine. She continued to hammer Russia for its military aggression and poison attacks and demanded that the UN take up the issue instead of protecting Russia. Nikki was one of the administration's fiercest critics of Russia, declaring that "we should never trust Russia" and Russia is "never going to be our friend."

Nikki Haley: Slash foreign aid to countries that don't have our back

From her first day as UN ambassador, Nikki worked to clean up the corrupt and politically-biased UN. She negotiated $285 million in cuts from the UN budget and reached agreements to restructure the UN, including rightsizing UN peacekeeping missions to make them more effective and accountable. She put our enemies on notice and started a process to slash U.S. foreign aid to countries that refused to have America's back.

Nikki Haley: Successfully got sanctions placed against North Korea

After North Korea fired ballistic missiles in 2017, Nikki pushed for stronger sanctions. This was no easy feat. Through extensive negotiations, Nikki convinced all 15 members of the UN Security Council, including China and Russia, to support the toughest-ever set of sanctions on North Korea. These sanctions cut North Korean exports by 90% and were a massive economic hit to the regime.

Tim Scott: China started economic Cold War; America will finish it

Economic prosperity promotes stability and security--here at home and around the world. As Biden sends us deeper and deeper in debt to the Chinese Communist Party, he only further fuels China's rise. And we will win the next century by the strength of our economy. China started this new economic Cold War, but America will finish it.

Will Hurd: Workforce key to winning New Cold War with Chinese

Our ability to build a workforce of tomorrow, not yesterday, will determine whether the United States can win the New Cold War with the Chinese Government in which we are currently engaged. The winner of this New Cold War will be the global superpower for the rest of this century, and for America to win we need to reboot our thinking on how to educate our kids.

Asa Hutchinson: Ask tough questions; hold China accountable for COVID-19

For too long, America has been dependent upon China for the stabilization of our economy. We can continue a trade partnership with China, but it must be one that protects American interests and promotes American ideals. China needs to answer the tough questions surrounding COVID-19 and I am prepared to ask those tough questions and hold China accountable.

Asa Hutchinson: Tough on Russia which is a threat to our national security

Russia is a threat to our national security and a threat that must be taken seriously. As Undersecretary of Homeland Security, I have firsthand experience dealing with world leaders to keep America safe. We must be tough on Russia and that starts with not backing down from Putin.

Ryan Binkley: Quick to aid allies, willing to extend hand of diplomacy

Russia's illegal war against Ukraine, China's increasingly aggressive imperialism, and the continued provocations from North Korea demonstrate the fragile state of our national security.

The way to freedom is an America that is proud and secure in its place in the world, unflinching in the face of tyranny, slow to anger, quick to aid its allies, but always willing to extend the hand of diplomacy to anyone who will take it in good faith.

Kamala Harris: Will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself

Vice President Harris will always stand up for Israel's right to defend itself and she will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself. She and President Biden are working to end the war in Gaza, such that Israel is secure, the hostages are released, the suffering in Gaza ends, and the Palestinian people can realize their right to dignity, security, freedom, and self-determination.
