About
This dataset contains the full acceptance speech of Joseph R. Biden Jr. at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in 2020. The speech, delivered on a Thursday night in 2020, marked the beginning of his general-election challenge to then-President Trump. Democrats framed this challenge as a crucial mission to rescue a nation beleaguered by a severe pandemic and a White House characterised by perceived incompetence, racism, and abuse of power. In his address, Mr. Biden urged Americans to have faith in their ability to overcome a "season of darkness" and pledged to bridge the country's political divisions, contrasting with the approach of Mr. Trump. The data allows for analysis of emphasised words and phrases, offering insights into the direction of his campaign and whether he sought support from the left-wing or aimed to win over voters who had previously supported Trump.
