Allan Lichtman shares his prediction in the 2024 presidential election

In a NYT Opinion video released Thursday morning, Lichtman says he believes Vice President Kamala Harris will win the race for the White House this November.

WASHINGTON - Presidential predictor Allan Lichtman, who has called the winner of nearly every presidential election since the 1980s, has announced his final prediction for the 2024 presidential election. 

In a NYT Opinion video released Thursday morning, Lichtman says he believes Vice President Kamala Harris will win the race for the White House this November. 

Lichtman explained his decision in the video, saying Harris secured the majority of his ‘13 Keys to the White House’, making her the candidate most likely to win the race. 

Lichtman is expected to discuss further his latest prediction Thursday night at 9:00 p.m. on his YouTube channel. 

ALLAN LICHTMAN'S 13 THE KEYS TO THE WHITE HOUSE

    • KEY 1 (Party Mandate)
    • KEY 2 (Contest)
    • KEY 3 (Incumbency)
    • KEY 4 (Third Party)
    • KEY 5 (Short-Term Economy)
    • KEY 6 (Long-Term Economy)
    • KEY 7 (Policy Change)
    • KEY 8 (Social Unrest)
    • KEY 9 (Scandal)
    • KEY 10 (Foreign/Military Failure)
    • KEY 11 (Foreign/Military Success)
    • KEY 12 (Incumbent Charisma)
    • KEY 13 (Challenger Charisma)

Trump/Harris debate looms while economic messages take hold

For the first time, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump will face off on the debate stage on September 10th in Philadelphia, and the theme of the election seems to be focusing on the economy. Jim discusses that and more with FOX 5 contributor and former Biden campaign surrogate Kevin Walling on "The Final 5."

With just 60 days until the Nov. 5 election, both candidates still have a lot of ground to cover as both campaigns are focusing their efforts on the seven key battleground states that could determine the outcome of the election. 

Current national polling is mixed on who is ahead right now. FiveThirtyEight has Harris leading Trump by 3% while RealClearPolitics puts Trump ahead by 2.3%.
