Time Magazine has named U.S. President-elect Donald Trump its Person of the Year for 2024, marking the second time Trump has received the title.
A Stunning Political Comeback
When Trump defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the November 5 elections, it was a historic event. The former president’s year was filled with dramatic events, including his survival of two assassination attempts and his conviction on allegations of business fraud. Trump is now set to return to the White House despite these obstacles.
Why Trump Was Chosen
Sam Jacobs, Time Magazine’s editor-in-chief, explained the decision in the magazine’s announcement. He stated that Trump was nominated “for marshalling a comeback of historic proportions, for driving a once-in-a-generation political realignment, and for reshaping the American presidency.” His impact on America’s role in the world also played a significant role in his selection, he added.
