For the first two years most foreign policy issues didn't rouse much domestic concern. That may be changing these days, between Trump's trade issues and the rising tension with Iran. Looking at it from a political perspective, which Democratic candidate benefits?
I'd suggest Biden does. None of the other candidates have much background in foreign policy, but Biden has 8 years worth. Definitely the younger candidates are at a disadvantage. Pete may speak seven languages (he'd might be only the second most multi-lingual president--I've seen a reference that J.Q. Adams spoke more, though that's not supported by wikipedia, though it does show a surprising number of presidents who were multi-lingual) but that won't count for much.
