History professor Allan Lichtman, best known for his 13 keys, a set of precepts used to predict nine out of the past ten U.S. elections, is forecasting a victory for Kamala Harris in November’s election. Lichtman, characterized as the “Nostradamus” of American politics, has effectively used his election-predicting model since 1981—including calling former President Donald J. Trump‘s victory in 2016.According to Lichtman’s system—which is essentially a set of somewhat subjective ‘true or false’ questions regarding economic and political conditions before an election—Kamala Harris currently holds eight keys. This, the 77-year-old academic says, means the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee will win the White House.
