Answer:

Hindsight bias

Explanation:

Hindsight bias is a psychological phenomenon in which a person has overestimated their abilities. They have predicted outcomes. But they people are not able to predict before the event took place. In this process, people believe that he can predict the situation more than it exists. Due to hindsight bias, the result will be the oversimplification of the cause and effect. It is also studied in behavioral economics.

So that when it is asked who wins the next presidential election she replied she does not know. Thus the scenario illustrates the hindsight bias.
