NO THANKS…I’ve correctly predicted presidents since 1984 – why I don’t expect Donald Trump to thank me in an unprecedented 2024…Renowned historian Allan Lichtman revealed Biden has several advantages – despite speculation swirling over his competency for office
THE SUN
A historian who has predicted the outcomes of presidential elections for 40 years said he doesn’t expect to be thanked by Donald Trump after Americans go to the polls in November.
Allan Lichtman, the mastermind behind the 13-point Keys to the White House algorithm, stopped short of making a decisive call, warning the election is unpredictable.
America faces its first presidential rematch since the 1950s, with Joe Biden and Donald Trump the frontrunners for the Democratic and Republican presidential nominations, respectively.
But Lichtman told The U.S. Sun that the Republicans have lots to worry about heading into the election.
The scholar received a signed photo from Trump after predicting his stunning 2016 White House victory. He was one of the few experts who predicted Trump’s shock win.
When asked if history could repeat itself, Lichtman said, “I doubt it, but you never know.”
Lichtman described the political climate as unpredictable.
“2024 is very unpredictable, but so was 2020,” he said.
“I agonized over it and didn’t make a call until September of the election year. 2024 certainly poses a lot of challenges because the domestic and international situation is so fluid.”
Trump could be hit with a criminal conviction just months before Americans go to the polls, for example.
He has been indicted four times and is juggling court appearances with rallies on the campaign.
Lichtman hasn’t yet made a definitive prediction this year, but he alluded to the areas where Biden has an advantage.
