Donald Trump's run of good fortune is expected to be recognized this week by Time magazine, which will name him Person of the Year, according to Politico.
Trump's political comeback after two impeachments, four indictments, losing the 2020 election and inciting a riot at the U.S. Capitol to try to overturn the results is a remarkable moment in American history.
The president-elect also survived two assassination attempts. A bullet grazed his ear and killed a rallygoer during the first assassination attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania.
Trump is the first president to win another term after losing his reelection bid since Grover Cleveland in 1892. He also is the oldest person to assume the presidency, and the first person convicted of a felony to win the job.
Trump's victory also is notable because of the political realignment he has brought. He made gains with younger voters and Hispanic voters.
Time unveiled the Person of the Year short list earlier this week. It includes Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris, Kate Middleton, Elon Musk and Benjamin Netanyahu. Time named professional basketball player Caitlin Clark Athlete of the Year on Tuesday.
Pop star Taylor Swift was named Person of the Year in 2023.
