Dana Taylor for USA TODAY:

So let's start with the million-dollar question. Who do you think will win in November?

Allan Lichtman:

It's not who I think. It's who my system, the 13 keys to the White House predicts, and according to the keys to the White House, we are going to have a new and pathbreaking American president, Kamala Harris will become the first woman President of the United States, at least cracking, if not shattering the glass ceiling, and she'll become the first American president of mixed African and East Asian descent, foreshadowing where our country is going. We are rapidly becoming a majority-minority country. Old white guys like me are on the decline.

Dana Taylor:

You've said you have 13 keys that you use to predict a race. What are they?

Allan Lichtman:

The keys tap into how American presidential elections really work as votes up or down on the strength and performance of the White House party. They look at things like midterm elections, incumbency, contests for the incumbent party nomination, third parties, short and long-term economy, policy change, social unrest, scandal, foreign/military failures and successes. And only two keys have anything to do with the candidates. And they're very high threshold keys assessing whether the candidates are one of those once-in-a-generational, across the board...

On the 2000 Bush/Gore Election:
Allan Lichtman:

I picked Gore, and I was right because as I proved in my report to the United States Commission on Civil Rights, still on their website, the wrong candidate won Florida and the wrong candidate was elected president. As I proved overwhelmingly, Florida rejected ballots actually cast by overwhelmingly Democratic Black voters as compared to ballots cast by heavily white Republican voters.
