Donald Trump marked a landslide victory in the United States Election 2024, defeating Kamala Harris. As Trump secured a win, he referred to it as "magnificent victory for the American people". However, the victory left Allan Lichtman, the so-called Nostradamus of US elections, speechless, as his prediction that Kamala Harris would win the presidency turned out to be wrong.

During a six-hour YouTube livestream with his son Sam, Allan Lichtman was heard saying, "I don't get it," as Donald Trump drew closer to victory. "This is the first moment of the night where I've lost hope a little bit," Sam Lichtman remarked, as US networks declared Pennsylvania as a battleground state in Trump's favor.

Lichtman appeared exhausted, stressed, and disheartened. "Good thing I have nothing to do tomorrow. And I'm not doing any interviews," he said. Holding his head in his hands, he added, "Democracy is gone."

"Once democracy is gone, it's almost impossible to recover. The way to recover is by the dictators losing wars," he said.

In response, Sam Lichtman expressed hope that Trump would complete his term and "we never have to deal with him again." He added, "I just can't understand how so many people can ignore everything he did in 2020."

"Democracy is precious, but like all precious things, it can be destroyed. And typically destroyed from within. And throughout the 21st century, democracy has been in decline everywhere around the world, and America has now fallen in step. But never give up hope. Never stop striving. Never stop trying especially you young people," Litchman said before signing off.

Lichtman's prediction model is based on historical patterns, rejecting the notion that polls, campaign strategies, or election demographics alone can dictate election results.
