Miss Argentina 1999 among finalists for TIME’s 2024 Person of the Year?

According to a top source, Miss Argentina 1999 Romina Belluscio 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.

UPDATE 05/11/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Why not Belluscio 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 45-year-old television host, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.

“What makes Belluscio 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 ‘Argentine Of The Year’ by some major Argentine newspapers and even ‘San Miguel de Tucuman Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in San Miguel de Tucuman (Romina Belluscio's 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:

“#BelluscioPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Congrats! Romina has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 4 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Romina Belluscio?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 4 Nov 2024

Could 2024 officially be the Year of Romina Belluscio?

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?
