Across 36 seasons and 771 episodes (and counting), The Simpsons has amazed fans with several uncanny predictions. From Super Bowl winners to Donald Trump's presidency, the animated series seems to have accurately predicted many events.
In the episode "Bart to the Future" (episode 17, season 11), which aired in 2000, Lisa Simpson became the President of the United States.
This scene and episode first gained attention when Kamala Harris took the oath as Vice President of the United States in 2021.
The similarity between Harris’s attire during the ceremony and Lisa Simpson’s purple blazer paired with a pearl necklace garnered significant attention.
Yeardley Smith, the voice of Lisa Simpson, had posted on X, “I really wanna believe Kamala Harris chose her wardrobe yesterday as a subtle nod to Lisa Simpson.”
After Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the presidential race earlier this year, the comparison between Harris and Lisa’s character as the President of the U.S. circulated again.
Show screenwriter Al Jean also took to X to say, "
@TheSimpsons 'prediction' I'm proud to be a part of."
