The presidential election of USA is slated for November 2020, when people would choose one out of two main presidential candidate and make him as new president of USA.

Though the primary election, which is complicated and complex process, where the people have voted for a party member know as delegate end the delegate pledges that he would vote for their favorite candidate .and in the end all the delegates vote for presidential candidate.

With all the primary process done America has its presidential candidate. The highest voted candidate from the democratic party is Joe bided .and Donald trump who got majority of votes is from the republican party.

President Donald Trump and Joe Biden, his democratic challenger, both promise sweeping progress and development over the next four years of their term – via starkly different paths. Here I present a comparative study of both the candidates on different areas and agendas.

 

Healthcare

The former vice president Joe Biden does not support healthcare plans that “start from scratch and get rid of private insurance.” His agenda for expanding even more access to healthcare which will include providing a, premium tax credits for working families, public option, and lowering the cost of medicines.

He also stated that each American should have access to affordable and quality of healthcare so that they have peace of mind.

On the other hand, Donald trump’s plan to lower the cost of drugs prescribed has stalled. His plans are mostly due promises and remains the same. A plan to replace the affordable care act remains in void as his administration is still trying to strike that down the law in court.

 

Racial and Social Justice

Joe Biden supports rooting out racism. He prioritizes prosecuting hate crimes.Mr. Biden claimed that racial justice is central to his overall policy vision especially in areas of housing, infrastructure and support for small businesses, while aiming to draw a sharp contrast with a president who has regularly provoked racial tensions.

Stating the acts of, Donald trump the whole world saw how he mismanaged the police brutality and racial tension in the country. Trump carries a history of racist action, speeches or charges on him. His hate speech for Mexican immigrant where he called them rapist in 2016.

Trump’s controversial statement has been faulted by many observers around the world. Racist and Islamophobic attitude have inflamed Trump's political ascendance, and this have become more significant than economic factors in determining the party loyalty to U.S. voters.

 

Foreign Policy in Respect to China

Trump has sought to challenged China over what he says is a suite of economic abuses: intellectual property theft, currency manipulation, export subsidies, and economic espionage.

He says radical action is required to protect American workers and to reduce the United States’ large bilateral trade deficit, and that the corona virus crisis demonstrates the need to hold China accountable.

Joe Biden has framed China’s rise as a major problem. He has extremist view and planned action, also he criticized china for their abusive trade practices and its human rights record.

He stated that he would mount a more effective push back against China than Trump and work more closely with allies to pressure Beijing to take needful steps.

 

Climate and Energy

Trump has always questioned the science behind climate change, expressing doubts about whether to blame human activity for it. He has advocated for expanded domestic fossil fuel production and has sought to increase his rollback of environmental regulations implemented by his predecessors.

Biden stated that the climate change faced by us is that greatest threat to our security and we need to stand together in this revolution and address it, he also released a national plan to control emission and invest in technology and infrastructure for the same.

As a presidential candidate, he expressed his concerned over greenhouse gases, but also supported controversial energy sources such as fracking and so-called clean coal in the country.

  

Conclusion

The fallout from the pandemic has made the 2020 election cycle one of the least traditional and new normal in modern history, placing an outsize importance on digital advertising.

With the absence of a traditional campaign structure, President Trump and presumptive Democratic candidate Joe Biden face a challenge of a digital advertising war instead of a basic strategy.

Finally , with digital advertising taking on considerable importance in politics this year, the 2020 election will be a barrier on whether voters believe the Biden campaign narrative that Donald Trump failed as president against the pandemic management and the country is now worse off.

Or whether they believe the Trump campaign narrative that the president mitigated the corona virus and his leadership is starting a great comeback in the economy.
