Piers Morgan Segment Goes Completely Off The Rails As Democrat Infighting Ensues [WATCH]

Allan Lichtman, a professor at American University known for his “13 Keys” election model, is under fire after his prediction for the 2024 presidential election fell significantly short.

Lichtman’s model, which he claims has accurately forecasted presidential election outcomes for decades, wrongly predicted a decisive victory for Kamala Harris over President-elect Donald Trump.

Lichtman’s model assesses elections based on 13 subjective factors, including economic performance, national security, and the charisma of the candidates.

For the 2024 election, Lichtman awarded Harris favorable marks in areas such as short- and long-term economic success, despite polling data showing widespread dissatisfaction with the economy.

He also argued that the Biden-Harris administration was not mired in any major scandals and asserted that Trump lacked charisma.

Based on this analysis, Lichtman predicted Harris would win eight of the 13 keys, securing the presidency.

For the first time, Lichtman also produced an electoral map, forecasting that Harris would carry traditionally Republican-leaning states such as Georgia and North Carolina.

The results, however, starkly contradicted his prediction, as Trump secured a resounding Electoral College victory.

In the wake of his miscalculation, Lichtman has stood by his model, claiming external factors, particularly “disinformation,” influenced the election outcome.

Speaking on News Nation, Lichtman blamed a combination of conservative media, social media platforms, and billionaire Elon Musk for spreading what he called “unprecedented disinformation” about key election issues, including the economy, immigration, and inflation.

“Disinformation has exploded to an unprecedented degree,” Lichtman said. “It starts with Fox News, conservative media, and podcasters with tens of millions of views. But what’s new this time is Elon Musk putting his thumb on the scales through his control of X, formerly Twitter.”

Lichtman’s defense of his model escalated into a heated exchange during an appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored alongside Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks. Uygur, who had previously criticized Lichtman’s methodology, took the opportunity to challenge the professor directly.

“Don’t blame the voters. I think you’re blaming the voters, and that’s a terrible idea,” Uygur said. Referring to their earlier debates, he added, “I told him his theories about the keys were absurd. I was right, he was wrong. I said he would lose his keys.”

Lichtman reacted strongly, defending his model and accusing Uygur of making personal attacks. “I read your own followers’ comments, and they all trashed you, every one of them, and supported me,” Lichtman retorted.

The argument intensified as Uygur dismissed Lichtman’s credentials, calling him “deluded,” and quipping, “you deserve a tall glass of shut-up juice.”

The back-and-forth culminated in Lichtman accusing Uygur of “blasphemy” against his model. “I will not stand for personal attacks,” Lichtman declared, as the two continued to trade barbs.

Lichtman suggested the voters were wrong, not his keys.

Lichtman’s failed prediction and subsequent defense have drawn widespread criticism, with many questioning the credibility of his model.

Uygur’s remarks echo sentiments from some voters who feel Lichtman’s analysis was detached from political realities and overly reliant on subjective interpretations.

As the political landscape continues to shift, Lichtman’s “13 Keys” may face increasing scrutiny in future election cycles, particularly as debates around media influence and voter sentiment remain at the forefront.

Meanwhile, Trump’s decisive victory and the ongoing fallout from Lichtman’s prediction underscore the complexities of forecasting presidential elections in an era of polarized politics and unprecedented media influence.
