Nate Silver accused FiveThirtyEight of suspending its presidential forecasts because it is waiting for Kamala Harris’ polling numbers to improve.
Election savant Nate Silver blasted FiveThirtyEight for suspending its presidential forecasts — offering up a “theory” that the website he founded is waiting for Vice President Kamala Harris’ polling numbers to improve.
Silver, the statistician and data journalist who rose to prominence in 2008 after accurately predicting the results of the presidential election, called out the ABC-owned website Monday for not publishing new polling since Harris replaced President Biden as the presumptive Democratic nominee.
A note on the FiveThirtyEight website says: “As of July 21 at 2 p.m. Eastern, President Joe Biden has suspended his campaign for the 2024 Democratic Party nomination for president.
