Biden And Harris Are Time’s Persons Of The Year

December 11, 2020 Democrats, Joe Biden

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris defeated Donald Trump twice this year: Once at the polls and again for Time’s ‘Person of the Year.’

Time’s choice to name Biden and Harris over Trump, who was also shortlisted, marks the first time a president-elect and vice president-elect have appeared together on a Person of the Year cover.

Harris is also the first vice president-elect to get the designation. Biden and Harris made the cut after topping a shortlist that included the movement for racial justice, Dr. Anthony Fauci and front-line workers in the fight against COVID-19.

The Biden-Harris ticket represents something historic.
