The finalists, which were unveiled on the “Today” show, include U.S. President Donald Trump, who was Time’s 2016 Person of the Year and recently claimed he turned down this year’s title (which Time disputed); Colin Kaepernick, who launched the “Take a Knee” protests and was named GQ’s Citizen of the Year last month; and the #MeToo campaign, a hashtag that women used to share their stories of sexual assault and harassment in an effort to show just how widespread the problem is. Other candidates include Dreamers and “Wonder Woman” director Patty Jenkins. This year’s 10 finalists include: Donald Trump Colin Kaepernick Jeff Bezos Kim Jon Un Robert Mueller Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Xi Jinping Patty Jenkins The Dreamers The #MeToo movement Person of the Year recognizes “the person or group of people who most influenced the news during the past year, for better or for worse,” according to Time. Previous winners include former President Barack Obama, Pope Francis, Angela Merkel, Mark Zuckerberg, Vladimir Putin and the Ebola fighters.

TIME announces the 2017 Person of the Year shortlist on 'Today' show https://t.co/OL0S73PVmn — Patty Jenkins (@PattyJenks) December 4, 2017 Don’t think it’s any question who should be @TIME person of the year. After thousands of years of misogynistic behavior towards women it is finally refreshing to see the social media and journalistic societies confront these encounters head on. My vote: #metoo #MondayMotivation — ♻️ Christopher Zullo (@ChrisJZullo) December 4, 2017 Patty Jenkins & Colin Kaepernick are both on the short list for TIME’s person of the year. Lit. — Dorian Parks #SDCC (@DorianParksnRec) December 4, 2017 Colin Kaepernick better be @TIME's Person of the Year and I will fight someone to make it happen. — (@elieslaab) December 4, 2017 Dear God, please let it be @Kaepernick7! Not to upset Trump, but because Colin truly deserves to be Time Person of the Year. Okay, God fine, maybe a little bit to upset Trump. #TimePOTY #PersonoftheYear https://t.co/xhiabJfmx1 — Gerren Peterson (@GerrenPeterson) December 4, 2017 Colin Kaepernick is a finalist for 'TIME' Person of the Year.
