The «Person of the Year» will be someone who has affected the news, «for better or worse.»
There are four finalists in Time magazine’s 2020 “Person of the Year.” The person who will be selected will be one who has affected the news and the lives of Americans greatly over the year, “for better or worse,” the magazine notes. The four finalists include President Donald Trump, President-elect Joe Biden, the movement for racial injustice, and Dr. Anthony Fauci and frontline health care workers. “Similar to every year he’s been in office, Trump’s had an immense influence on 2020,” Time writes in its explanation for Trump. Time also notes that Trump has been criticized for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, which has plagued the nation for much of the year. It also points out that the president has continued to make unsubstantiated claims of widespread voter fraud since the 2020 presidential election.
