Allan Lichtman created the Keys to the White House model in 1981. The model uses 13 true/false criteria to predict whether the incumbent party’s presidential candidate will win or lose the next election. Using this model, Lichtman has accurately predicted the winner of every U.S. presidential election since 1984.

Lichtman has been described as the “Nostradamus of American Politics.” Yesterday, when President Biden announced he wasn’t seeking reelection and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, Lichtman explained that Biden stepping down means the Democrats lose the incumbency key but can retain the contest key if they unite behind Kamala Harris as the consensus nominee.

During an hour-long YouTube livestream last night, Lichtman stressed the historical significance of retaining the contest key to avoid a party brawl and increase the chances of winning the election.

In other words, the Nostradamus of American Politics said that if Democrats want to win this thing, unity and consensus are of the utmost importance.
