Time magazine has named President-elect Donald Trump as 2024’s person of the year.
The publication announced its selection Thursday. This is Trump’s second time, after first being selected in 2016. Pop megastar Taylor Swift was 2023’s person of the year.
Time’s editor in chief Sam Jacobs wrote that it was not a difficult choice this year: “Since he began running for President in 2015, perhaps no single individual has played a larger role in changing the course of politics and history than Trump … On the cusp of his second presidency, all of us—from his most fanatical supporters to his most fervent critics—are living in the Age of Trump.”
Presidential election winners have gotten the magazine’s honor in the past, but there is no guarantee. As Time explained: There have been multiple cases of presidents-elects not being chosen, from Queen Elizabeth II getting the title in 1952 instead of Dwight D. Eisenhower, to 1968, when the Apollo 8 astronauts who were becoming the first humans to orbit this planet’s moon got the distinction instead of just-elected Richard M. Nixon.
