Kamala Has Keys to the White House?
An American University professor who has successfully predicted nine out of the last ten elections and every one since 2004 made his official prediction for this year
Dr. Allan Lichtman uses a 13-category system known as “Keys to the White House” to predict the winner. The keys include objective factors – like who gained seats in the last midterms – as well as subjective ones, like the state of the economy, charisma, and scandals
This year, Lichtman said that Harris has the advantage in eight “keys,” while Trump does in three, meaning he predicts Harris will win
The only election Lichtman missed in the last 40 years was in 2000, when he predicted that Al Gore would defeat George Bush. Gore won the popular vote but lost the electoral college vote
Donald Trump said that if elected, he will put Elon Musk in charge of a commission to cut government bureaucracy

Musk recently said, “I can’t wait [for Trump to win]. There is a lot of waste and needless regulation in government that needs to go”
What do you think?
Would you like Elon Musk to have a role in the government?
