Can elections be predicted like hurricanes or sporting events? American University professor Allan Lichtman believes so, and he has the track record to prove it. Using his unique “13 Keys to the White House” system, Lichtman has, according to him, correctly predicted the outcome of 10 out of the last 10 presidential elections.

In this episode of my WhoWhatWhy podcast, we talk with Lichtman to unpack his groundbreaking method, which goes beyond fleeting polling numbers to consider the complex interplay of 13 immutable forces that, he says, determine who will occupy the Oval Office. From economic conditions and social unrest to foreign policy successes and failures, Lichtman’s keys offer a tantalizing glimpse into the underlying dynamics that drive American politics and human behavior in general.
