Time magazine has named President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris as their Person of the Year for 2020.
Edward Felsenthal, Time's editor in chief, noted that Biden was elected "in the midst of an existential debate over what reality we inhabit" and yet "won a higher percentage of
the popular vote than any challenger to a presidential incumbent since Franklin Roosevelt".
Felsenthal also noted that every elected president since WWII has at some point during their term been a Person of the Year, but it was the first time the magazine had included a vice president.
"In a year that saw an epic struggle for racial justice, and one of the most consequential elections in history, the Biden-Harris partnership sends a powerful message," Felsenthal wrote.
