Time magazine has named US President-elect Donald Trump its 'Person of the Year' in acknowledgement of his stunning political comeback.

The magazine bestowed the title to Trump once before, in 2016.

It named Democratic President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris 'Person of the Year' in 2020, after they defeated Trump, while pop star Taylor Swift received the title last year.

"For marshaling a comeback of historic proportions, for driving a once-in-a-generation political realignment, for reshaping the American presidency and altering America's role in the world, Donald Trump is Time's 2024 - Person of the Year," the magazine said in a statement.

The accolade is given to the person, group or concept that had the biggest impact on the world each year.
