Trump, Harris, and Joe Rogan among Time’s 2024 Person of the Year nominees
Time has released 10 nominees for its annual Person of the Year award, including the 2024 presidential candidates and podcast host Joe Rogan.
This is not the first time President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris have made the list. Trump won in 2016 after his election victory, and Harris shared the title with then-President-elect Joe Biden in 2020. Since 2000, the candidate who wins the U.S. presidential election every fourth year has become Time’s Person of the Year, with former President George W. Bush winning it twice in 2000 and 2004 and former President Barack Obama doing so in 2008 and 2012.
Rogan’s nomination comes after he conducted a one-on-one interview with Trump in October on his podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. The interview, which lasted almost three hours, has since become one of the podcast’s most popular episodes, garnering over 52 million views on YouTube.
Billionaire and X owner Elon Musk is also up for consideration again. He was named Time’s Person of the Year in 2021.
Other nominees this year include Princess of Wales Kate Middleton, Russian economist Yulia Navalnaya, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
The winner will be unveiled Thursday on the Today show.
Last year’s winner was pop musician Taylor Swift. Other previous winners of the title include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in 2022, the year the war in Ukraine started, and environmental activist Greta Thunberg in 2019.
