It’s that time of year again when Time Magazine awards its person of the year, so here’s the shortlist so far

Time Magazine is looking for who dominated headlines and conversations in 2022. Ahead of the reveal this week, it has shortlisted a few candidates.

Elon Musk makes the cut

Top pick, is Elon Musk once again. The billionaire dominating headlines for his $44 billion takeover of Twitter.

He is no stranger to controversy, with many critics slamming his changes to the social media giant.

Xi Jinping

Next, is Xi Jinping as he secured himself a third term as President of China. He also stole the global spotlight for his draconian zero-covid strategy, as thousands call for his resignation.

Xi has also been the centre of geopolitical tensions and trade with the United States and Australia.

Plus, China’s dominance over Taiwan has cause a global stir.

U.S. Supreme Court

Also named is the U.S. Supreme court for overturning the nearly 50-year-old Roe v. Wade abortion law.

The landmark ruling overturned the law that recognised a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion and legalised it nationwide.

It sparked global protests with thousands of women begging for the right to decide what they do with their own bodies.

Volodymyr Zelensky

No surprise, Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky made the cut. The comedian turned President is leading his country through war.

During 2022, Zelensky has given unwavering strength for Ukraine. He has forced world leaders to support the war-torn nation, in the face of Russian aggression.

He has been a pillar of hope, endurance and resilience.

Iran protestors

Protestors in Iran have also been named, as the country continues to stand up against the strict Islamic Republic.

The uprising is one of the largest in the nations history, with the world unable to turn a blind eye.

Women have been burning their hijabs and cutting their hair, forcing the Parliament to review the mandatory hijab law.

Senate upholds vote to release Epstein files despite White House delay attempt; Trump signals intent to sign bill.

The White House tried to delay a vote on the release of Justice Department files connected to Jeffrey Epstein, even as former President Trump insisted there was nothing to hide.

Despite this, the Senate approved the measure exactly as it passed the House, ignoring amendments proposed by Trump’s aides. This move clears the path for the files to be made public in full.

Trump has indicated he intends to sign the bill, marking a significant shift after the White House’s attempt to block or delay the vote proved unsuccessful. The decision could have wide-reaching implications for transparency and ongoing investigations.
