Time was dragged on social media on Monday morning when the magazine unveiled a fawning cover story on Vice President Kamala Harris.
The new issue of Time features a glowing story by Charlotte Alter on the vice president, with a front cover headline that simply reads "Her Moment." Inside, Alter wrote that "Harris has pulled off the swiftest vibe shift in modern political history" and declared that maybe the 2020 Democratic primary and her time as vice president haven’t been the right times for Harris to "showcase her talents," but she "seems matched to the moment" as the Democratic presidential nominee.
Harris became the de facto nominee after President Biden endorsed her on July 21 when he dropped out of the race, and she has since officially clinched the nomination. Along the way, the mainstream media has given her overwhelmingly positive coverage and many feel the Time piece is the icing on the cake.
