Most likely, it will go to Dr. Fauci and front-line workers. I think the president gets nominated in most years, regardless. I'm disappointed that Kamala Harris wasn't a nominee. Not to begrudge Joe Biden, but her being elected VP is, as Joe would say, a big fucking deal. I hate that it's getting downplayed here. Not that bing "Time Person of the Year" really means much in the grand scheme of things.
