He beat out the likes of Vice President Kamala Harris, Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, and several others.

President-elect Donald Trump once again was named Time magazine’s “Person of the Year,” marking the second time he’s been selected in the past decade.

The magazine announced Trump’s selection on social media platform X on Thursday morning, showing the “Person of the Year” issue’s cover with a photo of the president-elect in a sitting pose.

Trump, who was previously named by the magazine in 2016, beat out Vice-President Kamala Harris, Princess Catherine of Wales (formerly Kate Middleton), Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Tesla chief executive and X owner Elon Musk, podcaster Joe Rogan, Russian economist Yulia Navalnaya, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, according to the publication.

Sam Jacobs, Time’s editor-in-chief, announced on NBC’s “Today” show that Trump was Time’s 2024 selection, adding that the president-elect was someone who, “for better or for worse, had the most influence on the news in 2024.”

“This is someone who made a 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.”

He said that “there’s always a hot debate” at the magazine over the honor.

“Although I have to admit that this year was an easier decision than years past,” he said.

In the Trump edition, the magazine included a “lightly edited” interview with Trump after the Nov. 5 election. When asked about his 2024 presidential effort, the president-elect described it as a “flawless campaign.”

“I called it 72 Days of Fury. There were no days off. There were no timeouts. If you made a mistake, it would be magnified at levels that nobody’s ever seen before,” Trump recalled.

“So you couldn’t make a mistake. And I think we just really ran well. It was a drive to go through it. It started 72 days out. For some reason, it just seemed to be it. And I worked very hard.”
