Biden and Trump Omitted from TIME's 2024 '100 Most Influential' List

For the first time in their respective presidencies, Joe Biden and Donald Trump were excluded from TIME Magazine's influential list, marking a notable shift in the publication's annual selection.

  • Joe Biden and Donald Trump, both key figures in the upcoming election, were not included in TIME's '100 Most Influential People' list for 2024.
  • This exclusion is unprecedented since the year 2000, underscoring the unique unpopularity of both candidates among voters this election cycle.
  • Vice President Kamala Harris also missed the list, despite previous inclusions.
  • Governors Greg Abbott of Texas and Gavin Newsom of California were highlighted instead, reflecting their rising national prominence.
  • Speculation continues about potential presidential ambitions for Newsom, while Abbott is considered a possible vice presidential pick for Trump.
