Trump emerged victorious in a competition that included other notable figures such as Kamala Harris, Elon Musk of Tesla, and Catherine, The Princess of Wales.

The news was announced exclusively on the Today show by Time editor Sam Jacobs.

Jacobs described 2024 as an “extraordinary year” for the president-elect.

Trump previously won the Person of the Year award in 2016 – the year of his last election victory.

And, he made his debut on the front cover of Time Magazine 35 years ago in 1989.

Trump was named the publication’s Person of the Year after a tumultuous 2024 election campaign.

In May, he was convicted of falsifying business records before surviving two assassination attempts months later.

Trump’s ear was grazed at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July.

In September, he was whisked to safety as gunshots were heard while he was playing golf in Florida.

Then, Trump scored a decisive win in November’s presidential election against Harris – winning both the Electoral College and the popular vote.

Trump’s popular vote victory was the first time in 20 years that a GOP presidential candidate had won the nationwide ballot.

The Person of the Year award goes to someone who has impacted the world ā€“ good or bad.

Trump and 13 other presidents have won the award.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris received the prize in 2020.

The last time a president was never named Person of the Year was Gerald Ford.

And 2024 marked the seventh consecutive time the winner of the election was named Person of the Year.

This yearā€™s shortlist also featured activists, politicians, and former winners.

A total of 10 candidates were on the list when it was announced on Monday before it was whittled down to five.

Benjamin Netanyahu made the final five on the shortlist.

In November, the International Criminal Court issued Netanyahu with an arrestĀ warrant for alleged crimes against humanity.

Podcaster Joe Rogan was on the list, but didn’t make the cut.

Trump succeeds pop megastar Taylor Swift, who was named Time Person of the Year in 2023.

Ukrainian president Volodymyr ZelenskyĀ was named the 2022 Person of the Year – months after Russia launched its illegal invasion.
