Donald Trump has been named as Time Magazine's Person of the Year for 2024.
The President-elect won the accolade once before in 2016, following his first Presidential election victory over Hillary Clinton.
The Republican will celebrate by ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange later today.
His second election win is "history-making in multiple ways", Time said when it announced the shortlist.

Trump is one of 14 US presidents who have received the recognition, including his predecessor and successor President Joe Biden.
The shortlist also included his opponent in the Presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris, as well as Kate Middleton, Elon Musk and Benjamin Netanyahu.
Time already announced NBA star Caitlin Clark as Athlete of the Year, Elton John as Icon of the Year and Lisa Su of Advanced Micro Devices as CEO of the Year.
Last year, pop megastar Taylor Swift won the accolade. To mark the magazine cover reveal, Time CEO Jessica Sibley rang the opening bell.

President-elect Trump has invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend his inauguration next month, CBS News reported on Wednesday, citing multiple sources.
The invitation to the January 20 inauguration in Washington occurred in early November, shortly after the November 5 presidential election, and it was not clear if it had been accepted.
