"Time" magazine announced its "Person of the Year" on an NBC special last night. They actually gave it to two people: President-Elect JOE BIDEN and future Vice President KAMALA HARRIS.
That wasn't shocking since they have a history of giving the award to the incoming President-Elect.
That tradition dates back NINE DECADES. The first President to be named Person of the Year was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in 1932.
"Time" said that Biden and Harris got the honor for securing the most votes ever in a presidential election . . . and Harris being the first Black person, the first woman, and the first Asian-American to become VP.
DONALD TRUMP was one of the four finalists, for the interesting way he's handled the pandemic and losing last month's election. The other finalists included: "Frontline Health Care Workers and Dr. Anthony Fauci," who have stepped up in a HUGE way to lead America through the COVID-19 fight.
They included everyone who puts themselves out there every day: Quote, "Health care workers, postal workers, sanitation workers, transportation workers, and many others, who are risking their lives."
And finally, the "Movement for Racial Justice," which is still ongoing, of course.
The movement was a contender because, quote, "In the midst of a pandemic, protesters took to the streets, demanding action to fight racial injustice at the hands of police and any entity that embodies systemic discrimination."
The magazine also named the Korean boy band BTS its "Entertainer of the Year."
Last year, "Time" made their Person of the Year Greta Thunberg, the young environmental activist.
