Who will win this razor-tight presidential election in November? Well, it depends on who you ask. Historian Allan Lichtman has accurately predicted the outcome of 9 out of the last 10 presidential elections, and he’s done it without the use of polling data. Instead, he uses a set of 13 keys to make his predictions. And, yes, he is almost always right. Who does he predict will win in November? Allan Lichtman, historian and professor at American University, joins us on The Excerpt to discuss his prediction and why his pick almost always emerges the winner.
Here to discuss is Allan Lichtman, historian and professor at American University. Thanks for joining me, Allan.
Allan Lichtman:
My pleasure.
Dana Taylor:
So let's start with the million-dollar question. Who do you think will win in November?
Allan Lichtman:
It's not who I think. It's who my system, the 13 keys to the White House predicts, and according to the keys to the White House, we are going to have a new and pathbreaking American president, Kamala Harris will become the first woman President of the United States, at least cracking, if not shattering the glass ceiling, and she'll become the first American president of mixed African and East Asian descent, foreshadowing where our country is going.
