For years, fans of The Simpsons have marveled at the show's uncanny ability to seemingly predict future events. This time, viral posts are floating around the internet suggesting that the show predicted Kamala Harris would become the President of the United States. Here's a closer look at these stunning theories.

The Viral Connection

The theory suggests that over 20 years ago, The Simpsons forecasted that Kamala Harris would ascend to the U.S. presidency.

Fans have pointed out that Lisa Simpson, dressed in a purple pantsuit with a pearl necklace, closely resembles Kamala Harris during her 2021 inauguration.

Season 11, Episode 17

The episode in question is Season 11, Episode 17, titled "Bart to the Future." In this episode, Lisa Simpson becomes the first female president and finds herself dealing with a budget crisis left by her predecessor, "President Trump." The episode aired in 2000 and shows Lisa wearing a purple pantsuit, similar to the one Kamala Harris wore at the inauguration, thus sparking a flood of comparisons.

Shadow of Ezra's Observation

An X (formerly Twitter) user named Shadow of Ezra posted about this prediction, highlighting the visual similarities between Lisa's attire and Harris's inauguration outfit. The post reads, “The 17th episode of the 11th season of The Simpsons shows Lisa Simpson as the first female president of the United States, dressed similarly to Kamala Harris at Joe Biden’s inauguration. This episode, which aired in 2000, strongly suggests that real estate mogul Donald Trump became president and left behind a budget crisis for Lisa to handle.”

Joe Biden's Endorsement

On July 21, 2024, Joe Biden announced his decision to end his candidacy and endorsed Kamala Harris. He expressed his full support, emphasizing the need for the Democratic Party to unite and defeat Trump. Harris, in her statement, acknowledged Biden's endorsement and pledged to win the nomination and the subsequent election. She committed to uniting the Democratic Party and the nation to confront and overcome Donald Trump’s extreme Project 2025 agenda.

A Pattern of Predictions

This isn't the first time "The Simpsons" has been credited with predicting future events. Over its long history, the show has seemingly forecasted numerous significant events, including Donald Trump’s presidency, smartwatches, and even the discovery of the Higgs boson particle. The detailed accuracy and often humorous nature of these predictions have cemented the show's reputation as a quirky oracle of sorts.
