My name is Catherine Stanton and I’m a senior at Harvard College studying statistics and government. My professional interests lie in the use of data science for natonal intelligence and cybersecurity, but I’m also passionate about American politics, civic education, and electoral accessibility.
The purpose of this blog is to post forecasts and models about the 2024 U.S. General Election as a part of Professor Ryan Enos’ GOV 1347 course. Given that Kamala Harris is the second female candidate to face Donald Trump in the last decade, I’m especially interested in models that acknowledge similarities between the Harris and Clinton campaigns and are intentionally designed such that sources of error from 2016 do not reappear in new models.
