Time slammed for Kamala Harris ‘Person of the Year’ nod as critics blast ‘it needs to be Trump’ after assassination bids

Online, KAMALA Harris’s candidacy for Time Magazine’s Person of the Year for 2024 has been ruthlessly ridiculed.

The ten-person shortlist competing for the award includes the defeated 2024 presidential contender; the winner will be revealed on December 12.

Elon Musk, podcaster Joe Rogan, and president-elect Donald Trump are also on the shortlist, according to Time.

Taylor Swift, the 2023 Person of the Year winner, will be replaced by the winner.

However, Harris’ inclusion on the shortlist has drawn criticism.

The fact that Harris was nominated despite losing the presidential race to Trump has many social media users perplexed.

What is Kamala’s ranking on the list? On X, a skeptic posted.

Supporters think Trump should receive the prize, which is granted to the individual who has had the biggest influence over the previous 12 months.

Trump not only easily won the election in November, but he also escaped two murder attempts.

According to one admirer, Donald Trump ought to win Time magazine’s man of the year award.

Trump had better be it. How could it possibly be Harris? Another person piped up, “She lost the election.”

A third firmly stated that President Trump was Time Magazine’s person of the year.

Time characterized Trump’s win as extraordinary, calling it a breathtaking political resurgence.

It was making history in many ways, according to the journal.

They brought up his conviction for manipulating company documents and the fact that, upon taking office on January 20, he will become the oldest president.

When Trump won his first presidential election in 2016, he was awarded Time’s Person of the Year.

Before losing to Trump, Harris waged an incredible 107-day campaign, according to Time, which also honored her.

There are other past winners of the prize on this year’s shortlist besides Trump.

Tesla tycoon Elon Musk won Person of the Year in 2021, while Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, won in 2010.

Musk presented a Saturday Night Live episode in 2021, and SpaceX was awarded a NASA contract to land American humans on the moon.

Zuckerberg’s victory coincided with Facebook reaching over half a billion users.

Additionally nominated are Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Princess of Wales Kate Middleton.

In 2011, the year she married Prince William, Middleton was among the award’s runners-up.

In 2013, she also appeared on Time’s list of the 100 most influential people.

One of the “most influential and controversial” world leaders of the year, according to some reports, is Netanyahu.

The roster also includes US Federal Reserve head Jerome Powell and podcaster Joe Rogan.

Powell has worked for both Biden and Trump.

He was on the shortlist for Person of the Year the previous year.

Swift was criticized online for winning the 2023 Person of the Year award.

Her romance with NFL star Travis Kelce caused a media frenzy when she released two re-recorded albums last year.
