The alleged 'polling Nostradamus' was served a dense dose of world erstwhile left-wing pundit Cenk Uygur went haywire over the professor's wildly incorrect telephone about Kamala Harris defeating Donald Trump. 

Allan Lichtman, who has successfully predicted 9 retired of 10 elections since 1984, appeared to beryllium astatine a nonaccomplishment for words aft the 2024 election arsenic helium realized his prediction was wrong. 

Uygur, the laminitis of leftist media web The Young Turks, confronted Lichtman connected Piers Morgan's amusement Tuesday.

He specifically had problems with Lichtman blaming 'voters' for falling for disinformation earlier slamming his '13 keys' methods of deciding elections.

'I debated Professor Lichtman before. I told him his theories astir "the keys" were absurd. I was right, helium was wrong. I said he'd suffer his keys,' Uygur said.

Lichtman fought back: 'No you were not close and I was not wrong. That's a inexpensive changeable and I won't basal for it! You should not beryllium taking inexpensive shots astatine me.'

Uygur pointed to the scoreboard, asking: 'Who won? You unrecorded successful a full satellite of denial!' 

The polling adept claimed to person work Uygur's followers comments and believed they each agreed with Lichtman. 

'I work your ain followers' comments and they each trashed you!' replied Lichtman. 'Every 1 of them and supporting me.'

'Yeah right! You don't cognize anything. You don't cognize anything. You're conscionable truthful deluded,' Uygur changeable back. 

Lichtman defended his credentials arsenic 'a prof for 51 years' who had published 13 books.  

Uygur blasted him again: 'You got it wrong! You were preposterously, stupidly wrong.'

After they argued immoderate much Uygur went for a takedown, claiming Lichtman needed 'a gangly solid of unopen up juice.'

'Hey Allan, shhh! Hey Allan, you merit a gangly solid of unopen up juice, truthful tin you conscionable unopen up for a 2nd and fto idiosyncratic who knows what they're doing talk?' 

An enraged Lichtman changeable back: 'I volition not beryllium present and basal for idiosyncratic attacks, for blasphemy against me. You don't request to bash that.' 

Uygur's response: 'Blasphemy against you?! Who the hellhole are you? Are you Jesus Christ? You loser!' 

Lichtman's 13 keys see things similar incumbency, incumbent charisma, challenger charisma, overseas argumentation failure, and overseas argumentation success.

The prognosticator was certain Kamala Harris would win, astatine archetypal by a landslide, and past by a trickle.

But arsenic Trump stormed to victory, Lichtman's miscalculation was unavoidable. 

'I'm not doing immoderate interviews, I'm done,' helium said arsenic the predetermination results came in. 

'Good happening I person thing to bash tomorrow,' the 77-year-old who predicted a Trump triumph successful 2016 continued. 

He past went afloat throttle against Trump, claiming the president won't spot retired his 2nd term.  

'You cognize what happens if Trump wins? He won't service a afloat term, he'll crook it implicit to JD Vance,' helium said, citing Trump's precocious age.

His son, Sam, appeared likewise stumped by the results playing retired successful real-time. 

Lichtman thanked his fans for tuning in, earlier signing disconnected for the night. 

'I'm heartened from each the benignant emails I've been getting, a batch of radical accidental we should support doing this show.

'I'm going to slumber each time tomorrow,' helium added instantly after. 

At respective points, the seasoned prof appeared to grimace and cradle his look -as helium tracked the results on-screen.

Just past month, Lichtman came guardant to assertion Harris had met what helium believed to his captious objectives for triumph -  telling CTV News however his made-up metrics are 'based connected a cardinal knowing of however American statesmanlike elections truly work.  

The forecasts raised eyebrows - arsenic it had travel from a antheral who has accurately predicted astir each azygous US statesmanlike predetermination since 1984.

Still, Lichtman has been incorrect successful the past - albeit conscionable once, successful 2000, erstwhile helium erroneously predicted a triumph for Al Gore.

In that case, portion of the prediction did travel true, successful the consciousness that Gore snagged the fashionable vote.

He technically did not clasp himself to the aforesaid modular successful 2016, erstwhile helium predicted Donald Trump would win, though helium did not enactment that Trump mislaid the fashionable vote.  

However, this clip around, that was acold from the case.

The easiness with which Trump took soared to triumph baffled Lichtman. 

'What? That’s not possible,' helium exclaimed. arsenic projections showed Trump winning the Hispanic ballot successful all-important Pennsylvania. 

'The satellite has turned upside down, that’s each I tin say,' Lichtman added astatine different constituent - arsenic much states turned red.

Massaging his temples good into the watercourse portion saying there had been 'nothing affirmative for Harris yet', helium went connected to prosecute successful a full-on facepalm erstwhile it became wide each 7 of the states billed arsenic being keys to triumph had gone to Trump.

At that point, the visibly defeated world thanked onlookers for tuning in, including those mockingly donating to the languishing livestream.

He went connected to conceded his alleged 'Keys [to victory] were wrong' - pointing to his 13 keys method to triumph that helium said Harris had met 8 of.

'A batch of radical judge the aboriginal of the state is connected the enactment here, and the ideology of America could beryllium a happening of the past,' Lichtman concluded by saying, adding, 'I don’t deliberation that’s an illegitimate fear.'

'I’m truthful disquieted astir the aboriginal of our election, you know... ideology is precious but similar each precious things, it tin beryllium destroyed,' helium added.
