Time Magazine’s 2020 “Person of the Year”

Time magazine has named President-elect Joe Biden and Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris its “Person of the Year.”

“Every elected President since FDR has at some point during his term been a Person of the Year, nearly a dozen of those in a presidential election year,” said Time’s editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal.

“This is the first time we have included a Vice-President.”

He said Biden and Harris won the honour for showing that “forces of empathy are greater than the furies of division.”

Time’s other Person of the Year candidates were President Donald Trump, frontline health care workers and Dr. Anthony Fauci and the movement for racial justice.

Also Thursday, Time named the Korean boy band BTS its Entertainer of the Year and named Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James its Athlete of the Year.
