Allan Lichtman, frequently dubbed the “Nostradamus” of US Pdwellntial Polls, is blaming the “explosion” of digloomyviseation and billionaire Elon Musk for his inaccurate foreseeion that Kamala Harris would triumph the 2024 election. Mr Lichtman, a professor at American University, is famous for accurately foreseeing nine of the last ten US elections. However, last week, the historian and political scientist took a loss on his noticeworthy record by foreseeing that Vice Pdwellnt Kamala Harris would triumph the 2024 pdwellntial race. Now, speaking to News Nation, Mr Lichtman provided a meaningfuler exset upation for his inaccurate foresee and pointed to conservative media platcreates and Elon Musk, who pored millions into Donald Trump’s campaign, as a factor in his inaccurate foreseeion.
“Number one, digloomyviseation. We’ve always had digloomyviseation, but digloomyviseation has exploded to an unpretreatnted degree. You talked about a grievance election, but a lot of that grievance was driven by digloomyviseation,” Mr Lichtman telderly the outlet.
The political scientist proceedd by naming X (createerly Twitter) owner Elon Musk, who ecombineed at some of Donald Trump’s campaign rallies and became one of the deafeningest media cheerdirecters. He claimed that Mr Musk’s microblogging platcreate was engaged to spread misdirectation about rerents appreciate immigration, hurricane relief and the war in Ukraine.
“We’ve seen someslfinisherg brand recent this time – billionaire Elon Musk putting his thumb on the scales,” Mr Lichtman said.
“It’s been alerted that his misdirectation had had billions, literassociate billions of sees and this has spread to every aspect of this election,” he inserted.

Mr Lichtman’s method for foreseeing the pdwellntial election results was based on a historical index model he dubs the “Keys to the White Hoengage”. This distinct system analyses the political landscape thraw the lens of 13 real-inrectify statements cgo ined on the incumbent pdwellnt’s party. If six or more of the statements are inrectify, then the contestr is foreseeed to triumph.
In the intersee with News Nation, the academic acunderstandledged that his method “maybe” demands to be changed in weightless of last week’s events. “The premise of the keys is that a reasonable, pragmatic electorate determines whether the White Hoengage party has administered well enough to get four more years. But if the sees of the White Hoengage party are administerled by digloomyviseation, particularly driven by those who are so rich that they have exceptional sway beyond anyone else, then maybe the premise of the keys demand to be changed,” Mr Lichtman said.
Notably, Allan Lichtman has been foreseeing the results of US pdwellntial elections since 1984. He has accurately foreseeed the last nine out of 10 pdwellntial races. Previously, he even foreseeed that Mr Trump would be impeached during his pdwellncy – which he was, twice.
