President-elect Donald Trump has been recognized as TIME magazine’s 2024 Person of the Year, marking the second time he has received the honor, with the first being in 2016. The announcement, made on Thursday, highlights Trump’s extraordinary political resurgence, described by the magazine as "unmatched in modern American history."

This recognition comes as Trump, now 78, prepares to return to the White House following a significant victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. His win was hailed as one of the most decisive in U.S. political history, making him the first president since Grover Cleveland to reclaim the presidency after a previous electoral defeat. Trump also became the first Republican in two decades to secure the popular vote, leading his party to gain control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives.

A Controversial Comeback

Trump’s selection by TIME coincides with his return to office amid a backdrop of controversies. His tenure as a former president had been marked by criminal investigations and scrutiny over his involvement in the January 6 Capitol riots. However, his political revival has been seen as a testament to his enduring influence and appeal among his supporters.

Campaign Promises and Policies

Throughout his campaign, Trump made bold pledges, including large-scale deportations, reducing the size of the federal government, and imposing tariffs to strengthen American industries. He also committed to granting pardons to individuals convicted in connection with the Capitol riots as one of his initial actions in office.

TIME’s Recognition

This honor places Trump among an elite group of global figures and leaders who have been previously named TIME’s Person of the Year. The award follows the 2023 recognition of singer Taylor Swift for her achievements in the arts, underscoring the diverse range of individuals celebrated by the magazine.

Trump’s return to power and his continued impact on American politics underscore the significance of his 2024 selection, further solidifying his place in history.
