Joe Biden, Kamala Harris named Time magazine’s ‘Person of the Year’

Time magazine has named President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris its Person of the Year, according to a report by Associated Press

“Biden and Harris won the honor for changing the American story, for showing that the forces of empathy are greater than the furies of division, for sharing a vision of healing in a grieving world, says Time’s editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal says

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. This is the first time we have included a Vice President, noted Felsenthal.

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

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