My predictions aren't so much predictions as they are descriptions of what is the case, to which little possibility of error attaches, in much the same way that the statement that the British monarchy will still exist on the 20th is sufficiently certain that a reasonable commentator would not be inclined to describe it as a hypothesis. All propositions are, in a sense, hypotheses, but for the purposes of ordinary discussion describing certain statements as hypotheses implies epistemic uncertainty that simply doesn't exist.

Biden is going to leave office on the 20th, much as the sun is going to come up on the 20th.
