The Simpsons Predicted Kamala Harris's Presidential Run Over 20 Years Ago

Over 20 years ago, The Simpsons 'predicted' Kamala Harris's presidential election down to the smallest details.

President Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he is stepping out of the presidential race and suggested his vice president, Harris, to take his place. He stated that he would follow the nomination of a Democrat, and it remains unclear whether anyone will contest the results of the Democratic National Convention in August.

Once it became clear that Harris expressed her intent to challenge former President Donald Trump, a Republican presidential candidate, in the November elections, social media users compared it to an episode of The Simpsons.

The 24-year-old episode titled “Bart to the Future” accurately foretold Trump’s presidency. The story takes place in 2030, where Bart's sister, Lisa, is the first female president of the United States, who inherits “quite a budget crisis from President Trump.”

Memes have long circulated on social media about The Simpsons predicting many significant events. Now, the animated series is back in the spotlight due to the parallels with Harris's presidential campaign.
