Allan Lichtman surprised by Trump's landslide victory in 2024 election
Allan Lichtman, known for his accurate U.S. election predictions, was surprised by Donald Trump's landslide victory in 2024. He had predicted Kamala Harris would win, citing eight favorable factors for her, while Trump had only three. During a live-streamed session, Lichtman expressed disbelief as results showed Trump leading. This marks only his third missed prediction since he began using his "Keys to the White House" system in 1984. As the results became clearer, Lichtman voiced concerns about the state of democracy, stating it is fragile and can be easily lost. He emphasized the importance of hope despite the challenges facing democratic systems.
