Black Lives Matter activists, Biden, and Fauci nominated for Time’s ‘Person of the Year’ award – Washington Times

Black Lives Matter activists, presumptive president-elect Joseph R. Biden, and White House Coronavirus Task Force member Dr. Anthony Fauci are all contenders for Time magazines Person of the Year award.

The publications long-running distinction will be determined by editors for a Dec. 10 unveiling, although readers are expressing their picks via online voting.

Voting as of Friday favors activists organizations and political leaders over a handful of entertainers.

Teenage climate change activist Greta Thunberg of Sweden won the award in 2019 and was the youngest recipient since its beginning in 1927.

This years online voting has heavily skewed in favor of figures associated with BLM activism and efforts to control the coronavirus pandemic, particularly those on the left side of the political spectrum.

President Trump, for instance, has failed to crack double-digits among Time readers, while Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts garnered 17% yes votes.

Other notable nominations include: Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey; Pope Francis; Vice President Mike Pence; Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett; Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell; New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo; and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
