Time Magazine has named President-elect Donald Trump its 2024 Person of the Year. The announcement highlights Trump’s unprecedented political comeback, as he became only the second U.S. president in history to regain the White House after losing re-election. Time cited his impact on reshaping the political landscape, emphasizing his ability to galvanize a dedicated voter base and redefine the national conversation on critical issues such as immigration and the economy.
Trump expressed gratitude for the recognition, calling it “a great honor.” This marks the second time he has received the title, previously earning it in 2016 after his initial election victory. Time’s editors noted that the selection reflects the magazine’s focus on individuals who wield the most influence—positive or negative—over global events during the year.
