The Simpsons’ prediction about Kamala Harris came true

The Simpsons’ Prediction About Kamala Harris

Lisa Simpson as President

What Did they Predict?

Once again, the animated series «The Simpsons» seems to have anticipated real-life events with astonishing accuracy.

In an episode aired in the year 2000, titled «Bart to the Future,» Lisa Simpson becomes the President of the United States.

What’s surprising is that Lisa, in the episode, wears a purple suit and pearls, an outfit that closely resembles what Kamala Harris wore when she was sworn in as Vice President.

This weekend, Al Jean, a writer for the show, highlighted the parallels on social media.

Jean wrote: «I am proud to be part of @TheSimpsons ‘prediction,'» accompanying his message with images of Lisa and Harris.

The coincidence has generated a buzz, especially after Joe Biden’s announcement to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race.

In the episode’s plot, Lisa succeeds Donald Trump as president, a prediction partly fulfilled with Trump’s real presidency.

If Harris wins the Democratic nomination, she would face Trump again, just like in the episode.

The episode, set in 2030, shows Lisa describing herself as «the first straight female president of the United States.»

Lisa inherits a budget crisis from President Trump, a detail that adds more intrigue to the prediction.

Dan Greaney, the episode’s writer, commented in 2016 that the plot was a «warning to America.»

Over the weekend, many social media users commented on the parallels.

One user wrote: «The Simpsons being prophetic has become one of the most enduring mysteries of our times.»

Others called the coincidences «unsettling» and «strange,» according to CBS News.

The ability of «The Simpsons» to foresee events has been a topic of discussion for years.

From Trump’s presidency to more mundane details, the series has surprised viewers time and again.
