According to a top source, Bobbie Thomas is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the television host's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

Why not Thomas for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 49-year-old television host, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Thomas so important is the potential and influence she now has, rather than anything she has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the television host have already been named ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘Providence Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Providence (Bobbie Thomas' hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the television host was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Bobbie Thomas Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 4 Nov 2024
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveBobbie”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 4 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Bobbie Thomas?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 4 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Bobbie Thomas?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
