Donald Trump named Time's 2024 Person of the Year: EXCLUSIVE

After a political rebirth that Time labeled "unparalleled in American history," President-elect Donald Trump has been named the 2024 Time Person of the Year.

Trump was revealed in a TODAY exclusive on Dec. 12 to be the publication's pick after being chosen from an initial short list of 10 prominent figures that had been whittled to five on Dec. 11.

This is the second time Trump has been chosen by Time as Person of the Year after also earning the distinction in 2016 following his victory in the presidential election. His first appearance on the cover of Time was in 1989.
