President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris won TIME magazine's "Person of the Year" award for 2020, Bruce Springsteen announced on Thursday.
"Biden had the vision, set the tone and topped the ticket. But he also recognized what he could not offer on his own, what a 78-year-old white man could never provide: generational change, a fresh perspective, and an embodiment of America’s diversity. For that, he needed Kamala Harris: California Senator, former district attorney and state attorney general, a biracial child of immigrants whose charisma and tough questioning of Trump Administration officials electrified millions of Democrats. The Vice President has never before been a woman, or Black, or Asian American," Charlotte Alter wrote for the magazine.
