DEPARTMENT OF GOVERNMENT, CBG – Amidst the chaotic aftermath of the United States presidential election, one key admission seems to have slipped under the media’s radar.

In a secretly recorded conversation with an anonymous whistleblower (who we can only reveal to be a member of LSE’s School of Public Policy) the current vice president let slip that she “actually lost the thing on purpose, just to f*ck with all those political scientists,” followed by her signature cheerful laugh.

Despite this shocking revelation, it has not slowed the avalanche of articles, talks, and social media posts being released by the LSE’s political scientists, econometricians, and the like.

“I haven’t had this much blog post material since Brexit,” shared one MSc Political Science student, following up with “not to mention how hot my instagram stories are right now.”

The Raccoon reached out to several LSE departments to get their thoughts on this jaw-dropping confession from Kamala Harris, but our emails were simply replied to with a link to a playlist of election-related LSE YouTube videos.
