JOE BIDEN VICTORY IN THE 2020 UNITED STATES PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION: LITERATURE REVIEW
Abstract
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the 2020 US presidential election is worth watching. Also, who wins the US presidential election will influence US foreign and international policy. This research aims to examine the 2020 US Presidential Election, focusing on Joe Biden’s victory. The author uses Scopus sources, which are analyzed using VOS viewer, NVivo, SWOT, Literature Review, and political communication theory, resulting in the peak of Joe Biden’s research in Scopus in 2023 experiencing a decline. The author also finds the involvement of Russian researchers who analyze Joe Biden, where these two countries have been rivals for a long time. Joe Biden and his vice president are political actors who have successfully delivered their political campaigns against Donald Trump and his vice president, Mike Pence. Joe Biden overcame the threat during his campaign by maximizing his power using persuasive speeches, social media, in-person campaigning, and powerful appeals to influence and persuade audiences.
