The clothes caught the attention
As soon as US leader Joe Biden announced his decision not to seek re-election and it became clear that Vice President K. Harris would try to do so, a collage of her portrait and Lisa – one of the characters from “Simpsons” – began to spread on social networks.
Someone juxtaposed the photos because the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate looked like Lisa, who in the future – at the age of 38 – will become the first female president of the United States. It appears in the series In the Oval Officewhich is formally the president’s workspace in the White House.

In one shot, she is seen wearing a blue-purple jacket over a gray high-neck blouse. Coat of similar color by K.Harris wore given oath of office of the vice president during J.Biden’s inauguration in January 2021. Like the adult Lisa, she also had a pearl necklace around her neck and matching earrings in her ears.
But these are the only similarities between women. Lisa’s blouse is gray, K.Harris’s is blue. Their complexions are also different – Lisa is a white-skinned blonde, the vice-president is dark-haired – the daughter of an Indian and a Jamaican.
True, some collages shared by netizens also show a shot of Lisa talking to advisers about the budget crisis inherited from Donald Trump. The real estate tycoon is known to have served as president before Mr. Biden and could have remained there if he had won the last election.
Thus, users of social networks began to share the collage as proof that “Simpsons” also predicted K. Harris’s participation in the presidential election.
“People! The Simpsons prophecies are working! Not yet Joever (this word is made from the current president’s name Joe and the English word ever – forever – red. past.)“, – cheered “X” user.
Others in the same social network pointed out, that as early as 2000 March 19 was in the series predictedthat K. Harris will be the first female president of the United States.
The Simpsons Got It Right – Again!!!” – wondered one Facebook user.
He correctly predicted Trump’s presidency
This scene is actually from the FOX animated series The Simpsons, Season 11, Episode 17, titled “Bart to the Future” (Bart to the Future). This is an allusion to a famous fantasy film Back to the Future (“Back to the Future”) title.

Various media outlets in the US and other countries wrote about it („Newsweek“ and „People“ portals, NDTV.com). In an episode that aired in 2000 March 19, tells the story of the life of the Simpsons’ firstborn Bart, who was 10 years old at the time, in his forties (so the 2030s).
Considerable attention in the film was devoted to his younger sister, who was 38 at the time. L. Simpson is electedshe said, “the first straight woman president of the United States.”
Her clothes in the episode are indeed similar to those worn by K. Harris two decades later during the inauguration of J. Biden. But no conclusions can be drawn from this, because there are no more similarities in appearance.
The series did not even mention the name of the current vice president, did not mention that a person holding such a position could become the leader of the United States, and did not provide any other details that would allow us to talk about a real prophecy.
It’s funny that the “president” L. Simpson wears the same purple jacket compared and with similarly dressed former US First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, too sought for the presidency, only in 2016, and lost to Trump.
However, it can be admitted that already in 2000, a dozen years before the elections, the victory of this businessman was correctly predicted. At that time, he also had thoughts of becoming president, but the plans failed.
“Bart to the Future” screenwriter Al Jean reveled in predicting the future in a way.
The Simpsons ‘Prophecy’. I’m proud to be a part of it,” he shared photos of Lisa and K.Harris dressed similarly. commented in your ‘X’ account.
A. Jean put the word “prophecy” in quotation marks, so even he himself does not consider it a prediction of the future.
There are countless prophecies, but they are just coincidences
The creators of The Simpsons are famous for being the future prophets. It was mentioned earlier that “The Simpsons” was foretold 15 future eventsothers counts more than 30. For example, they are predicted the 9/11 attacksalso some in 2021 events. Many of their “prophecies” have been disproved (here, here).
Although many future events do appear similar to some episodes of the series, they cannot be called prophecies. Because often only some details match (as in the case of K.Harris). The script of the series is often related to various current affairs, it tells about events that will undoubtedly happen in the near future (for example, a female president of the United States).

Sometimes things that have already happened are turned into satire (for example, a pandemic or Trump winning the election – he already had such ambitions in 2000), so it just seems that they were predicted.
Below are several portals 15min “The Simpsons” prophecies described:
The shot at Donald Trump is already shrouded in legend: from the direction to the prophecy of The Simpsons
Did The Simpsons Predict Canadian Protests? No, the series footage was re-edited
“The Simpsons” is “predicting” again, but this time the frame was created by artificial intelligence
Hawaii fires caused by lasers, predicted by The Simpsons? No, it’s just a conspiracy theory
The Simpsons didn’t predict the bank collapse – the episode was set to take place in 2023
The Simpsons are also “to blame” for COVID-19: no, the series did not predict the pandemic
15min verdict: satire. It is not true that the creators of “Simpsons” predicted K. Harris’ participation in 2024. in the presidential election. in 2000 the episode that aired, footage of which is now being shared as an accurate prophecy, showed a future president-elect Lisa, but made no reference to the current president. The fact that the politician and the heroine of the series were dressed similarly is just a coincidence.
