View on XTIME's editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal said Biden and Harris won the honour for "changing the American story, for showing that the forces of empathy are greater than the furies of division, for sharing a vision of healing in a grieving world."
He continued specifying that "every elected President since FDR has at some point during his term been a Person of the Year, nearly a dozen of those in a presidential election year. This is the first time we have included a Vice-President."
