An American political historian known as the “Nostradamus” of elections was seemingly at a loss for words early Wednesday when he realized his prediction — that Kamala Harris would win the presidential election — was wrong.
Allen Lichtman, who has correctly predicted the outcome of nine of the 10 elections since 1984, was captured on a livestream repeatedly saying “I don’t get it” as Donald Trump’s landslide victory started to become evident.
@metrouk A pollster nicknamed the 'Nostradamus of US presidential elections' appeared shocked as he realised his prediction was incorrect. Professor Allan Lichtman had only been wrong about one election before the 2024 voting began, when he predicted a win for Al Gore in 2000. Americans are waking up to the news that Donald Trump will be the 47th President of the United States. #usa #uselection #trump #allanlichtman #polling #trump #harris
PS. If anyone comes across a good dissection of the massive failure by pollsters let me know.
