Election Forecaster Who Famously Predicted Trump Would Win in 2016 Says Kamala Will Be the Next President

An American historian who has correctly predicted 9 of the last 10 presidential elections has declared that Kamala Harris will be the next president of the United States.

Allan Lichtman, professor of modern history at American University, has boldly maintained that Vice President Harris will win the upcoming election, bucking against mixed polling and intense scrutiny, USA Today reported.

Lichtman has successfully predicted the outcomes of nearly all presidential elections since 1984. He previously made headlines for projecting Donald Trump's 2016 win, which sparked backlash in the forecasting community but was ultimately proven accurate.

As the 2024 election approaches, Lichtman reiterated on his YouTube channel his prediction that Harris will prevail.

"Nothing has changed to change my prediction that I made on Sept. 5," Lichtman said. "In defiance of the polls."

Lichtman relies on his established method of "13 keys to the White House" that analyzes political dynamics instead of conventional polling.

"I don't have a crystal ball, I'm not Speaker Mike Johnson who thinks he has a pipeline to the Almighty, my system is based on history, it's very robust, but it's always possible, you can't know it in advance that that there'd be something so cataclysmic and so unprecedented to break the pattern of history," Lichtman said, but that "doesn't mean my prediction is invalidated."
