Did The Simpsons Hint At Kamala Harris As US President Way Back In 2000 by saintbillion(m): 8:56am On Jul 23
The Simpsons is once again credited with predicting a major event, this time Kamala Harris's potential presidential run. An episode from 2000 shows Lisa Simpson as the first female president, dealing with a budget crisis left by President Trump, while wearing an outfit eerily similar to Harris's at her vice-presidential oath-taking ceremony.
The popular animated series 'The Simpsons' has earned a spot in pop culture history as a sort of modern-day Nostradamus because of its surprising predictions. More than 20 years ago, the show seemed to hint that Kamala Harris could become President of the United States. In a 2000 episode, Lisa Simpson was shown as the first female president, leading some to believe the show predicted Harris's future role.

The Simpsons is an animated comedy series that follows the lives of the Simpson family in the town of Springfield, and is a commentary on American culture and society. It is a blend of cultural commentary and humour.

In Season 11, Episode 17 of The Simpsons, Lisa deals with a budget problem left by President Trump. She wears a purple pantsuit and pearl necklace that closely resemble the ones Kamala Harris wore at her vice-presidential inauguration in 2021.

Many people believe The Simpsons predicted Kamala Harris’s possible run for president.

“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,” an X user shared a post about the prediction.

AI Jean, the writer and executive producer of The Simpsons, has responded to claims that the show "predicted" Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee.

Al Jean, posted, “.@TheSimpsons 'prediction' I’m proud to be a part of.”
Joe Biden announced his decision to step aside from the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party's presidential candidate.

Soon after bowing down from the presidential race, Biden, in another X post, extended his support to Vice President Kamala Harris to run at the top of the ticket. If accepted, Harris will be the first Indian-origin Black woman to run as a US presidential candidate in the country's history.

I've got nothing to say about this but one thing I know is, Americans are naturally blessed. I mean what I'm saying. At times when they talk, you'd think they're a prophet. Look at their predictions about events in other nations, even long before it ever happens. This often come out in form of movies, book stories and news.

According to the cartoon...a white woman took over Trump ... kamala is black and Trump is not president... so if we follow their prediction, then it's Trump in November , then a white woman will take over from him in 2028

But they predicted Trump will one day become the US president. And it came to past. All I know is, Simpson is more accurate than Nigerians pastors and prophets in terms of prophecy and predictions
