See how Trump and Harris' stances on military support compare
CBSN
There are similarities between former President Donald Trump and President Biden on long-term armed forces strategy, but in the run-up to the 2024 election, stark differences in Harris and Trump's view of the military's role have emerged.
Trump, having been commander-in-chief, has a policy record and views on the military. But former advisers with whom he clashed during his presidency have warned that a second Trump administration could look much different than the first.
Harris doesn't have as much in her background that illuminates her views of the role of the active-duty military. But it's likely a Harris administration would follow the norms of previous presidents and the national defense strategy under President Biden.
