Historian Allan Lichtman, known for accurately predicting election outcomes, was left stunned after Donald Trump’s landslide victory. Lichtman had predicted Kamala Harris would win the presidential election but was wrong. The former president’s surprise victory has sparked disappointment among some, including Lichtman himself.
Lichtman, who is known as “Nostradamus of US polls,” appeared visibly tired and stressed during a six-hour YouTube livestream with his son Sam. He expressed hope that Trump would serve his term without causing further damage to the country. However, he also warned that democracy can be destroyed from within and emphasized the importance of striving for its preservation.
Lichtman’s prediction model focuses on historical patterns rather than campaign strategies or demographics. His 13 “Keys to the White House” system has accurately forecasted election winners since 1984, including some cases where his predictions went against popular sentiment.
Despite the unexpected outcome, Lichtman urged Americans not to give up hope and to continue striving for democracy’s preservation.
