鈥淭he Democrats will hold on to the White House, and Kamala Harris will be the next president of the United States,鈥� Lichtman told The New York Times today in a video. .

Lichtman鈥檚 prediction is based on 13 Keys, a model he developed with Russian geophysicist Vladimir Keilis-Borok in 1981. The 13 Keys ignore all polls and pollsters. They focus on 13 true-false statements. If six or more of the keys are false, the incumbent party is predicted to lose the election. If five or fewer are false, the incumbent is expected to win.

The keys include whether: 听

1. 听The White House party gained House seats during the midterm elections
2. 听The sitting president is running for re-election
3. 听The White House party is avoiding a primary contest
4. 听There is a third-party challenger
5. 听The short-term economy is strong
6. 听The long-term economy growth has been as good as the last two terms
7. 听The White House party has made major changes to national policy
8. 听There is sustained social unrest during the term
9. 听The White House is untainted by scandal, the incumbent party is charismatic
10. 听The challenger is uncharismatic
11. 听The incumbent is charismatic
12. 听The White House party has major failure in foreign policy
13. 听The White House party has foreign policy success.

Lichtman found that eight of the keys are true (in Harris鈥� favor), while three are false, favoring Trump. But, of course, the election is still several months away, and two keys, a foreign policy failure or a foreign policy success, could still flip before then. 听

Lichtman has some advice for readers. 鈥淜amala Harris will be the next president of the United States, at least that鈥檚 my prediction for this race, but the outcome is up to you, so get out and vote,鈥� he says.
