Time magazine named US President-elect Donald Trump as Person of the Year for 2024.
In its statement, the magazine said Trump had been chosen "for marshaling a comeback of historic proportions, for driving a once-in-a-generation political realignment," as well as "for reshaping the American presidency and altering America's role in the world."
This is the second time Trump wins the accolade, with the first time being after winning his first presidency in 2016.
Sam Jacobs, Time's editor-in-chief, explained the decision to US broadcaster NBC, saying that "for better or for worse, (Trump) had the most influence on the news in 2024."
"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."
