Kamala Harris will win election, predicts leading historian Allan Lichtman

Polling Nostradamus', said to have correctly forecast since 1984 all races except Gore's loss, says Trump on track to lose

Allan Lichtman, the historian dubbed the Nostradamus" of US presidential elections, has predicted that Kamala Harris will win the White House in November's poll.

Having previously warned the Democrats of the dangers of removing Joe Biden from the ticket, Lichtman nevertheless forecast that the vice-president, who became the party's nominee after the president withdrew in July, would be elected in a video for the New York Times.
