‘Simpsons’ Writer Responds to Kamala Harris Predictions of Presidential Run

The Simpsons have done it again.

The cartoon appeared to predict Vice President Kamala Harris’ run for the Democratic presidential nomination after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race over the weekend.

Even a writer from the show addressed the coincidence on social media.

In a 2000 episode of the sitcom “Bart to the Future,” Lisa Simpson becomes the first female president of the United States. She wears the same purple outfit Harris wore to her 2021 inauguration, including the pearl necklace and earrings.

Back-to-back photos of Lisa and Harris, 59, went viral on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday after the massive shakeup on the Democratic presidential ticket.

“The Simpsons as a prophetic figure has become one of the most enduring mysteries of our time!” One fan I tweeted.

“It’s alarming how often these predictions are true,” another person said.

The show’s screenwriter, Al Jean, also tweeted the adorable photo.

“The Simpsons family predictions that I am proud to be a part of” books.

The show, created by Matt Groening, is known for predicting future events, including the presidency of Donald Trump.

In the same episode, President Lisa said, “We inherited a major budget crisis from President Trump.”

Groening, 70, gave a speech on the show in which he predicted Trump, 78, would take the White House in a 2016 interview. With the Guardian.

“We predicted he would be president in 2000 — but [Trump] “That was, of course, the most ridiculous name we could imagine at the time, and that still holds true. It’s beyond ridiculous,” he said.

The show also correctly predicted the Capitol riots, the Game of Thrones finale, the coronavirus pandemic, and more.

In a 1996 episode, titled “Lisa the Idol Smasher,” Lisa is depicted being shot and killed instantly while standing on the roof of a building, in a scene eerily similar to the assassination attempt on Trump earlier this month.

The episode was pulled from broadcast in the UK the day after the former president was shot during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Biden, 81, dropped out of the 2024 presidential race after his poor performance in the June 27 debate. Democrats were worried that the incumbent president would suffer a landslide defeat in November.

“It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president,” Biden wrote in a letter to “my fellow Americans” on Sunday.

“While I had intended to run for re-election, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and my country for me to step aside and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term,” Biden added. “I will speak to the nation later this week in more detail about my decision.”

He also endorsed Harris for president in an ad on Channel X.

“Today, I want to express my full support for Kamala to be our party’s nominee this year. Democrats – it’s time to come together and defeat Trump. Let’s do it,” Biden wrote.

Harris said in a statement that she was “honored” to receive Biden’s endorsement and confirmed that she is seeking the nomination.

Latest news on President Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race:

“Over the past year, I have traveled the country, speaking to Americans about the clear choice in this important election. And that is what I will continue to do in the days and weeks ahead,” the former California senator said. “I will do everything I can to unite the Democratic Party — and unite our nation — to defeat Donald Trump and his extremist “Project 2025” agenda.”

Bill and Hillary Clinton, Pete Buttigieg, Gavin Newsom and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have all endorsed Harris. Former President Barack Obama has yet to endorse her, instead saying Democrats will choose an “outstanding candidate.”

Her nomination will not be decided until after the Democratic National Convention in August.
