Correction. Actually, they were collectively named "Time's 2020 Person of the Year." Makes sense, as Biden is a mere shell of a man.

Surprised that TIME, once a Republican magazine, didn’t nominate Xi Jinping!
I know - just not worried about detaills
No big deal.
Since 1932, the cover has gone to FDR, Truman*, LBJ*, Carter, Reagan, Clinton, GW Bush, Obama, and Trump on their being president-elect.
[*Truman/LBJ for their second term as their first term was taking over for a deceased president.]

Yet it looks like s a very big deal. Which ones had to share with their VP, and together were honored singularly as man/woman/person of the year?

Well, that might be understandable, as the Devil's in the details here for sure.
In 1938 the real Adolph Hitler was man of the year according to Time Magazine, just sayin
The criteria of the man of the year is: Time that features and profiles a person, a group, an idea, or an object that "for better or for worse... has done the most to influence the events of the year"
Being elected - does not mean they influenced anything for the year. Every President elect mention by Scarlett was a poor choice by Time. Now, lets say someone is running as an independent - and he were to win the election over the R and the D - Now that may be an influence to mention.!
AS I just mention in the last post: The criteria of the man of the year is: Time that features and profiles a person, a group, an idea, or an object that "for better or for worse... has done the most to influence the events of the year"
(bold my emphasis)
Using that criteria Time made an excellent choice in 1938.
Ha!ha!
Ha!ha!
Maybe, my mind is off duty today - so tell us - what is so funny - as it seems - you appear to be making no sense.
When Henry Luce started Time, he was a Catholic Republican, a very rare breed in those days. He and his wife were sensationalists now and then to sell magazines. The Hitler thing was an embarrassment that they tried to explain for the next 20 years. Ike appointed Clare Booth Luce as ambassador to Italy. Eventually, the magazine fell on bad times and almost went out of business. It us still floating around but now is a Democrat rag instead of an influential Republican rag. At one point in the 1950s everyone read the magazine but now no one does.
And it was a very negative article. They were not honoring him.
They said that Hitler was the "greatest threatening force that the democratic, freedom-loving world faces today.”
