Outcome

Accurate Happened 8 November 2016.

Trump won the presidency via the Electoral College (304-227) while Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. Lichtman's wording ("a Trump victory") matches the presidential outcome, though his model had earlier been described as forecasting the popular vote, which Trump lost.
