Time Magazine names Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and U.S President-elect Joe Biden as 2020 Time persons of the year. The Democratic duo beat three other finalists, frontline doctors and top US communicable disease expert, Dr Anthony Fauci, the racial justice movement and outing of U.S president Donald Trump. The magazine said Biden and Harris offered restoration and renewal during a single ticket.
’’They racked up 81 million votes and counting, the foremost in presidential history, topping Trump by some 7 million votes and flipping five battleground states’’, it said. Biden follows his former boss Barack Obama exactly, who was named in 2012. Trump also received an equivalent honour in 2016 when he was President-elect. Each year, the magazine chooses an individual, group, thought or object that had the foremost impact on events over 12 months.
