A history professor is predicting a victory for President Biden in November.

Allan Lichtman has correctly predicted nearly every presidential election since 1984. He incorrectly predicted Al Gore would win in 2000, but he believes that was a stolen election.

Lichtman says a lot would have to go wrong for Biden to lose to former president Donald Trump.

Polls, however, show Biden is in trouble nationally and behind in several swing states. Lichtman defended his prediction, telling the Daily Mail that polls six to seven months before an election have zero predictive value.

Lichtman says some things are working in Trump's favor though, and that'd be a significant third-party challenger and the protests on college campuses.
