President-elect Donald Trump named Time’s ‘Person of the Year’ after ‘historic comeback’: ‘Unparalleled in American History’

President-elect Donald Trump was named Time’s “Person of the Year” on Thursday after his stunning political comeback — which the magazine described as “unparalleled in American history.”

Sam Jacobs, Time’s editor in chief, announced on NBC’s “Today” show that Trump was selected as the  magazine’s 2024 Person of the Year because “for better or for worse, had the most influence on the news in 2024.”

“This is someone who made an historic comeback, who reshaped the American presidency and who’s reordering American politics,” Jacobs said.

“It’s hard to argue with the fact that the person who’s moving into the Oval Office is the most influential person in news.”
