President-elect Donald J. Trump is poised to be crowned TIME magazine’s “Person of the Year.” To celebrate this recognition, the America First leader will personally ring the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday morning, sources suggest.
Trump, previously honored in 2016 after his victory over Hillary Clinton, joins an elite group of 13 U.S. presidents, including successor and now predecessor Joe Biden, who have been recognized by TIME.
The shortlist for this prestigious title included Vice President Kamala Harris, the Princess of Wales, Trump-supporting tech mogul Elon Musk, and Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu. TIME is also celebrating Women’s NBA star Caitlin Clark as Athlete of the Year, Elton John as Icon of the Year, and Lisa Su of AMD as CEO of the Year.
TIME is not officially confirming its choice, with a spokesman stating, “This year’s choice will be announced tomorrow morning, Dec. 12, on Time.com.”
The “Person of the Year” title is awarded to individuals who have profoundly shaped the year’s narrative, from historic leaders like Winston Churchill to contemporary figures like Germany’s Angela Merkel and Russia’s Vladimir Putin.
