Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have become Time magazine’s 2020 person – or persons – of the year.
“Together, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris offered restoration and renewal in a single ticket,” The magazine said. “And America bought what they were selling: after the highest turnout in a century, they racked up 81 million votes and counting, the most in presidential history, topping Trump by some 7 million votes and flipping five battleground states.”
The magazine has been choosing the year’s most influential person since 1927.
Donald Trump also won the award as president-elect in 2016. His predecessors Barack Obama and George W. Bush were each named person of the year twice after their election victories. Last year, the winner was climate activist Greta Thunberg.
