Allan Lichtman, a historian and professor at American University often called the Nostradamus of presidential elections, has two notes for you: there is no such thing as an October surprise and Kamala Harris is still set to win. 

Appearing on CNN, Lichtman said: “Nothing has changed. The biggest myth in American politics is the so-called October surprise. I’ve always issued my predictions before then, and never change them.
