Kamala Harris Predicted to Win 2024 Election Despite Potential October Surprise
In the run-up to the 2024 presidential election, all eyes are on Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. As polling continues to show a tight race, renowned election predictor Dr. Allan Lichtman remains firm in his forecast: Kamala Harris will win, even if an "October surprise" emerges. Lichtman, a professor at American University, has correctly predicted nine out of the last ten elections using his "13 keys" model. These keys focus on long-term trends and the strength of the incumbent party rather than on late-breaking events or scandals.

The term "October surprise" refers to unexpected, often game-changing events that surface just before the November election. Some might recall how the release of the infamous "Access Hollywood" tape just weeks before the 2016 election seemed poised to sink Trump’s chances. Yet, he emerged victorious, a prediction Lichtman accurately made despite the scandal. This year, Lichtman dismisses the idea that an October surprise will sway voters enough to alter the course of the election. He emphasizes that his model is rooted in a broader perspective, rather than the emotional or reactive shifts that can occur in the final weeks of a campaign.
According to Lichtman’s system, Harris has an advantage in eight of the 13 keys, compared to Trump’s three. This positions her well for a win, even in a contest as close as this one. While Trump is still battling to regain lost ground in key swing states, the prediction holds strong for Harris. Despite controversies surrounding both candidates and the potential for last-minute developments, Lichtman is confident that the fundamentals of the election are already set.
With the election just weeks away, the stakes are high. Voters remain divided, and even a minor shift could tip the balance. However, as history has shown, predictions like Lichtman’s have consistently proven resilient in the face of surprises. Whether or not an October bombshell materializes, the final decision will rest in the hands of the voters.
