I was looking for any political pundit who predicted Trump would win and found at least one
J.T. Young, a republican who worked in the house and senate.

Excerpts
Long gone is Harriss early lead. According to RealClearPolitics average of national polling, she just fell behind Trump on Oct. 26 for the first time since early August. The RealClearPolitics average of battleground state polling also has her at a slight disadvantage, she trails in five of the seven individual swing states that will decide the presidency.
On Thursday, Trumps lead in both the national and battleground averages was slightly higher. If all the polling averages translated into voting outcomes, she would lose the electoral college vote, 241-297. She entered this weekend needing to make up ground.
The upshot is that Harris is not simply seeing a lower level of support than Biden and Clinton this late in their respective campaigns, but that she could wind up reaping a lower percentage of that lower level of support, too.
Several trends are appearing late in this race, all of them currently running against Harris. Should they combine, it could unleash a perfect storm for Democrats.
