Predicting the result of US elections

 
Column by 

Vice President Kamala Harris will win the 2024 presidential election. The tomatoes have spoken.

Over the past 17 straight election cycles, those fragile fruits have divined the fate of the republic. When a very specific measure of their prices falls, the Republican has won, starting with Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956. When it rises, the Democrat always triumphs, as Joe Biden did in 2020.
