Joe Biden, Kamala Harris named Time Person of the Year

US President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris have been named as Time magazine’s 2020 ‘Person of the Year’.

“Joe Biden and Kamala Harris named Time Person of the Year,” AFP reported on Friday.
Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris were chosen ahead of three other finalists: frontline health care workers and Anthony Fauci, the racial justice movement, and President Donald Trump.

The publication put pictures of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as its cover photo, with the title ‘Changing America’s story’. US President-elect Joe Biden beat incumbent Donald Trump in a historic presidential election that saw record-breaking turnout.

Essential workers — nurses, doctors, delivery people, grocery-store employees and others who risked their lives on the frontlines during the Covid-19 pandemic earlier won TIME’s 2020 Person of the Year Reader Poll.

TIME said “these heroes” won with 6.5 per cent of the more than 8 million votes cast in this year’s poll, that had asked readers to select the person or group of people who had the greatest influence on 2020.

“Essential workers beat out some 80 other candidates, including famed figures like (US) President Donald Trump, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Pope Francis, for the readers’ top pick,” TIME said.
