'The Simpsons' may have predicted Kamala Harris becoming US Vice President

In a not-so-surprising turn of events, the show seems to have nailed it once again!

The Simpsons seems to have predicted the future once again, as users reveal how the exquisite outfit donned Kamala Harris – the new US vice president – at the inauguration ceremony, was very similar to Lisa Simpson’s presidential suit.

Harris was sworn in alongside the new POTUS Joe Biden on January 20, following the departure of Donald Trump. The pair became the elected officials after winning the presidential election in November 2020.

Now, a Simpsons fan pointed out how an adult version of Lisa wears a similar outfit when she becomes president in the time-hopping 2000 episode title Bart to the Future. Not to mention, she also dethrones Trump in the same, reported Yahoo.

Her blue-purple suit with a pearl necklace is eerily reminiscent of the outfit Harris wore when she became America’s first female VP at the US Capitol on Wednesday. Simpsons fan Phil Hagen shared the similarity on Twitter, taking a jibe at how it was “a bit on the nose”, even in the pantheon of Simpsons predictions.

However, this is not the first time Harris has been mentioned in connection to The Simpsons. Last year, Trump’s campaign adviser Jenna Ellis had compared her voice to that of Marge Simpson.

In response, the show released a clip in which Marge addressed Ellis’s comments, claiming she felt ‘disrespected’ as an ‘ordinary suburban housewife’. “I was gonna say I’m p***ed off, but I’m afraid they’d bleep it,” Marge remarked.

Moreover, Simpsons fans are also claiming Tom Hanks’s post-inauguration address was predicted by the show too. Hanks had made a cameo in The Simpsons Movie back in 2007 as part of a propaganda film framing the destruction of Springfield as creating “the new Grand Canyon”

The star quipped in the film that “the US government has lost its credibility, so it's borrowing some of mine.”

As for how, two decades ago, did the Simpsons predict Trump to be president, writer Dan Greaney told The Hollywood Reporter: “It was a warning to America. And that just seemed like the logical last stop before hitting bottom. It was pitched because it was consistent with the vision of America going insane.”
