The Issues 2020 series applies the Manhattan Institute’s breadth and depth of expertise on major issues of national public policy to the key arguments and proposals of the 2020 presidential campaign. MI scholars identify where the central claims driving key debates reflect fundamental misunderstandings about what is happening in America. With succinct explanations of what the data show, they provide a much needed corrective and a solid foundation for political debates about the nation’s future.

Editor’s note: Issues 2020 series will release new issue briefs over the course of the 2020 campaign. Stay tuned for more in-depth analysis from our scholars.
