US President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris were named "Person of the Year" 2020, awarded by Time magazine.
Time magazine published the result on its website, coinciding with the announcement of Biden and Harris' winning the award.
The magazine said - in a glance about Biden and Harris - that the selection of the former vice president and his companion broke the barrier of gender and race.
Commenting on their victory, the magazine added that America "bought what they were selling," as they won up to 81 million votes, the largest number of votes in the history of the presidential election.
Biden beat outgoing President Donald Trump by 7 million votes.
The magazine said it chose them from a list of finalists, which also included Trump.
Joe Biden - who will be inaugurated as the 46th president of the United States on January 20 - and Kamala Harris were chosen over three other competitors who reached the finals.
The competitors are: Donald Trump, the movement against racial inequality - which was sparked by the death of George Floyd in late May in Minneapolis - and Doctor Anthony Fauci and his paramedics most vulnerable to the emerging coronavirus.

The smallest figure
And in 2019, the Swedish climate activist magazine Greta Thunberg, at the age of 16, chose to become the youngest person to receive this title, which the magazine has awarded since 1927.
The magazine cover featured a picture of Joe Biden, 78, and Kamala Harris, 56, under the headline "Changing America's History."
"In order to change America's history and show that the forces of compassion are greater than the forces of division, and to provide a vision of healing in a sad world, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are the character of 2020," the magazine wrote.
It is reported that Kamala Davy Harris, the daughter of immigrants: an Indian mother and father from Jamaica, came to the White House 55 years after the repeal of laws that deprived African Americans of the right to vote.
