Skimm 2020
Vote with theSkimm
We've got you covered with all the nonpartisan info and tools you need to vote confidently, no matter how or where you cast a ballot.
Issues
Abortion
Abortion rates have been going down for decades. But with the recent wave of statewide abortion restrictions, the issue has taken a front seat in the 2020 election.
Climate Change
The effects of climate change – like more frequent wildfires and flooding – are hitting home for voters in a way they haven’t in the past.
Economy
The US economy is currently in its longest expansion ever and unemployment is at a record low. That's music to President Trump's ears. But the country's also dealing with rising income inequality and stagnant wages.
Education
The nation has a $1.5 trillion student debt problem. That's led to a fierce debate about how to make college more affordable. The candidates also have policies to address everything from universal pre-k to charter schools.
Health Care
US health care is the most expensive in the world. And Americans are fed up with its high prices, making it one of the most pressing issues on the campaign trail.
Immigration
Immigration has been a defining issue of President Trump’s first term. That’s fueled a debate about everything from the future of DACA to border security to refugee policies.
National Security
The threat of terrorism. Nuclear war. Cybersecurity. There are a wide variety of issues that could affect the safety and security of Americans.
Social Justice
Social justice = the principle that everyone deserves to be treated equally. On the 2020 campaign trail, that's translating into policies for criminal justice reform, LGBTQ+ rights, and gender equality.
