Every president since Franklin D Roosevelt – but Gerald Ford – has won title at least once, making it a rite of passage

Donald Trump has once again become Time magazine’s coveted “Person of the Year”, securing the annual recognition for a second time in less than a decade.

The president-elect, who previously won the title in 2016, beat out a shortlist of Vice-President Kamala Harris; Catherine, Princess of Wales; the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu; the Mexican president, Claudia Sheinbaum; the billionaire Elon Musk and the podcast sensation Joe Rogan.
