On Thursday, Time Magazine (Lean Left bias) announced that its "Person of the Year" for 2024 is President-elect Donald Trump.
The Details: Trump was named "Person of the Year" for his second time, with his first being in 2016. He also rang the New York Stock Exchange's opening bell Thursday morning. He was chosen among a shortlist that included Vice President Kamala Harris, entrepreneur Elon Musk, Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu, and Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton. In his interview with Time, Trump discussed his campaign, his cabinet appointments, his mass deportation plan, the Education Department, foreign wars, and other priorities.
For Context: Time has been awarding the "Person of the Year" title since 1927, recognizing a figure who has "most affected the news and our lives, for good or ill, and embodied what was important about the year." Last year's winner was Taylor Swift. All but three U.S. presidents have been awarded the title at least once; the only figure to win it three times was Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Key Quote: "This is someone who made a historic comeback, who reshaped the American presidency and who's reordering American politics." Time Editor-in-Chief Sam Jacobs said.
How The Media Covered It: The New York Post (Lean Right) highlighted Trump's response to the honors and Jacobs' comments. Fox News (Right bias) and Politico (Lean Left) mentioned Trump's past comments in 2015 and 2017 when he was passed over for the award.
