This is how I believe the keys look like today. GOP has at least 5 in false as of now given near guaranteed midterms loss. That said, curious to hear people's take here:

Key 1: False.

I recognize that a lot can happen between now and November but I feel almost certain that midterms are going to go for Dems for a few reasons. Though the Dems are really frustrated with their party's leadership, the Democratic base is fired up against Trump, meaning turn out for the Democrats will be huge (as many state and local elections across the board have shown). At the same time, the Iran war, Epstein, persistent inflation, and divides within the GOP over immigration enforcement suggest that the GOP's base enthusiasm is waning.

As the economy continues to be perceived as slow and expensive, I feel this sentiment will continue into November. Gerrymandering may lessen the blow for the GOP in the House, but I still see the Dems taking the House with comfortable margins, and the senate may be in play as well.

Key 2: too early to tell, leans true.

Epstein, the Iran war, and immigration may cause divides within MAGA, as Trump's fights with key media figures on the right like Tucker, MTG, and others suggest. But when Trump elects a successor, I feel the GOP will fall in line.

Key 3: False

Trump cannot run for a third term.

Key 4: too early to tell.

Key 5: too early to tell, but leans false.

We don't know if there will be a recession in 2028, though there are signs that long-term the economy is going to hurt due to the following issues: Iran War, the uncertain impact of AI on white collar and entry-level jobs, issues across the private credit market, and persistent inflation in the form of high prices with whom wages have not kept up. I personally feel like the "Vibe Economy" idea makes a lot of sense, and helps explain in part why the Dems lost in 2024 contrary to Lichtman's prediction. But Lichtman has not changed the key to reflect that. Be that as it may, too early to tell but not looking good for the GOP.

Key 6: too early to tell, but leans false.

Same reasoning as Key 5.

Key 7: True.

DOGE, tariffs, BBB, these all represent major policy changes and everyone in the economy is feeling the Trump effect.

Key 8: too early to tell.

Under the benchmark set by Lichtman, No Kings does not count.

Key 9: False.

Epstein Scandal directly implicates the president, and recognition of such is bipartisan. Many in MAGA base feel disillusioned and angry, and though it is not a significant number it is still noteworthy. Moreover, the Epstein bill passed Congress in a bipartisan manner, it led to MTG's resignation from Congress, and arguably is what led Trump to fire Pam Bondi. This scandal is also not likely to be over as more information comes to light, so this key is false.

Key 10: As of now, False.

Iran War is broadly unpopular and Washington has pursued unclear objectives. This, alongside the timing of the war, the lack of an AUMF, rising prices for gas and fertilizer, and the …
