Election2020

Election2020 is a Twitter dataset on the 2020 US presidential elections. To facilitate the understanding of political discourse and try to empower the Computational Social Science research community, the authors decided to publicly release this massive-scale, longitudinal dataset of U.S. politics- and election-related tweets. This multilingual dataset encompasses hundreds of millions of tweets and tracks all salient U.S. politics trends, actors, and events between 2019 and 2020. It predates and spans the whole period of Republican and Democratic primaries, with real-time tracking of all presidential contenders of both sides of the isle. After that, it focuses on presidential and vice-presidential candidates. The dataset release is curated, documented and will be constantly updated on a weekly-basis, until the November 3, 2020 election and beyond.
