Fans Are Losing It Over The Kamala Harris Prediction From The Simpsons

As a long-time fan of “The Simpsons,” I’ve seen countless episodes that have left me in awe and wondering if the writers are somehow clairvoyant. The latest instance of this mind-boggling phenomenon is the seemingly accurate prediction of Vice President Kamala Harris‘ outfit and her potential presidency.


In recent times, “The Simpsons” has become famous for its uncanny ability to seemingly foresee the future, much like Nostradamus. A more current example of this predictive power could be on display. In an episode titled “Bart to the Future,” Lisa Simpson (voiced by Yeardley Smith) is shown as the President in a flash-forward scene. She wears purple and pearls, dealing with a financial crisis caused by the previous president, Donald Trump. Resolving this budget deficit may negatively impact her popularity due to the need for tax increases. Many fans believe that Lisa’s presidency foreshadows Kamala Harris’ potential victory in the upcoming Democratic presidential nomination race, replacing Joe Biden.

On X, previously referred to as Twitter, @boris_beissner commented that the attire of adult Lisa in the show is strikingly similar to what Kamala Harris wore during her vice presidential inauguration, complete with matching pearl necklaces. @jessicacadams pondered, “Are The Simpsons creators psychic? Or was there a secret joke between Kamala Harris and the show?” @ZWardynski added, “The Simpsons as Prophetic is an intriguing enigma of our era.” @Jassi22G concluded, “If Kamala Harris wins the US presidency elections, I’ll switch from following news to watching The Simpsons instead.”

Lisa’s and Vice President Harris’ images spread extensively on the internet, eventually drawing the attention of one of the show’s team members.

Al Jean took notice of the tweetstorm

As a dedicated gamer, I couldn’t help but notice the buzz around the internet about the striking resemblance between Lisa Simpson from “The Simpsons” and Vice President Kamala Harris. The viral images of them side by side had everyone talking! In awe, I found myself scrolling through post after post, marveling at the uncanny resemblance in their outfits. And then, something amazing happened – “The Simpsons” writer and co-showrunner Al Jean acknowledged it too! He proudly posted on his Twitter account, “@TheSimpsons ‘prediction’ I’m proud to be a part of,” accompanied by photos of Lisa and Harris looking remarkably similar. What an exciting moment for us fans!

The writers behind the hit show have recognized its influence on both pop culture and real-life situations for quite some time. Occasionally, they intentionally incorporate these references. For instance, Dan Greaney, the writer of “Bart to the Future,” explained his controversial decision to make Donald Trump the president in the Simpsons universe to The Hollywood Reporter. He stated, “It was a warning for America. Trump seemed like the next logical step towards chaos and insanity. It was proposed because it aligned with our portrayal of America losing its senses.” Greaney views this as yet another instance of The Simpsons satirizing American cultural extravagance.

Lisa’s hints about Vice President Harris’ actions and attire might or might not foreshadow future facts, but “The Simpsons” has a history of making seemingly implausible predictions come true through its episodes.

The Simpsons has seemingly predicted the future dozens of times

Disregarding Donald Trump’s presidency, the television series “The Simpsons” has remarkably foreshadowed numerous events that later occurred in real life. For instance, back in 2016, C. Montgomery Burns (portrayed by Harry Shearer) tried out a new type of virtual reality using a headset on the show, which mirrored the development of the Apple Vision Pro that emerged several years afterwards. In “Lisa’s Wedding,” an episode aired in 1995, video chatting was depicted long before it became accessible to consumers in 2010. Moreover, in the 1998 episode “When You Dish Upon a Star,” there is a visual joke hinting that 20th Century Fox had become a part of The Walt Disney Company – this actually happened in 2017.

An illustrious illustration of this occurs when “The Simpsons” astonishingly forecasted the Super Bowl winner not once, but three times. In the episode “Lisa The Greek,” which aired prior to Super Bowl XXVI, the writers accurately predicted a Washington win against the Dallas Cowboys. Fox played it safe by re-dubbing the episode for broadcast before Super Bowl XXVII, featuring the teams competing that year. They repeated this feat for Super Bowl XXVIII and correctly guessed the outcome once more. Maybe “The Simpsons” writers should consider opening a sports betting establishment.
