Historian speaks on Kamala emerging winner
Lichtman attributed his forecast to his proprietary “13 Keys to the White House” system, which evaluates various aspects of the electoral landscape.
According to this framework, at least eight factors favour Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump.
He however acknowledged the fragility of democracy in the political climate, confessing that he felt “a flock of crows in my stomach.”
Lichtman’s system categorises electoral factors into true or false statements. Historically, when six or more keys are false, the challenging party is expected to win.
Speaking to CBC News, Lichtman said this year’s analysis suggests that Harris holds the advantage and would likely become the first female president of America.
“Based on my system the keys to the white house, Kamala Harris will become the first woman president and she will be the first president of African and East Asian mixed descent,” he said.
