Is Donald Trump Time Magazine’s 2024 Person of the Year?
Donald Trump is rumored to be Time Magazine’s 2024 Person of the Year. The official announcement is set for December 12.
To mark the occasion, the President-elect is expected to participate in the ceremonial action and ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), according to sources (via Politico). Trump, who received the title in 2016, is part of the shortlist. It also includes figures like Vice President Kamala Harris, Elon Musk, Kate Middleton, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Person of the Year title is awarded annually to an individual, group, or concept that has had a significant impact on global events over the year. Trump’s potential selection highlights his remarkable political comeback and the way he has reshaped the American electorate, with Time recognizing his influence on the political landscape. Past honorees have included world leaders like Winston Churchill and Vladimir Putin, as well as figures such as Taylor Swift and Elon Musk in recent years.
Trump’s inclusion on this year’s shortlist reflects his continued prominence, even as he has been vocal about his past grievances with the magazine, calling its Person of the Year list a “joke” in 2013. Later, despite his earlier criticisms, Trump acknowledged that being named Person of the Year in 2016 is a “great honor.” Time has not yet confirmed its pick for 2024. However, Trump’s position on the shortlist highlights his ongoing influence in the political landscape.
