    Did ABC/538 get to keep the political forecast models?

    I was under the impression that Nate Silver owned the original models, and took the models with him when he left?

    I guess ABC would have been able to keep the older models.

      You are correct. Nate Silver is actually looking to publish his own models, he’s writing about it on Substack.

      He said the 538 models are cool, but he hasn’t worked on anything since June 2023.
