Donald Trump Named Time Magazine's 'Person Of The Year' For Second Time

US President-elect Donald Trump is Time magazine's coveted 'Person of the Year.' Trump, who previously won the title in 2016, has secured it for the second time in less than a decade.

With this, Trump joins a list of 14 US presidents honoured by the magazine.

Trump beat out a shortlist of Vice President Kamala Harris; Catherine, Princess of Wales; Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu; the Mexican President, Claudia Sheinbaum; billionaire Elon Musk; and the podcast sensation Joe Rogan to win the title.

Every US president since Franklin D. Roosevelt has worn the title at least once, making Time’s annual selection a sort of presidential rite of passage.

Trump was elected the 47th president of the United States in November 2024, defeating incumbent vice president Kamala Harris, and making him the second president in US history after Grover Cleveland in 1892 to be elected to a nonconsecutive second term.
