Forget polls, ditch the data, and stop sending reporters to restaurants in swing states to interview undecided voters: Historian Allan Lichtman already knows who will win the U.S. presidential election.
“Harris will win,” Lichtman confidently told Agence France-Presse.
He was speaking at his home in the leafy Washington suburb of Bethesda shortly after unveiling his much-discussed prediction, which is to be made once every four years at the White House and is based on what he calls the “13 keys” method.
It may be easy to dismiss Lichtman’s methodology as a mere gimmick in the endless, protracted coverage of American elections, in which reporters, pollsters and pundits are constantly trying to see who is on top and who is on the bottom.
