The Simpsons are known for accurately and shockingly predicting some major events. Just before the results, it appears the sitcom predicted the outcome of the 2024 election: Kamala Harris will be POTUS. But whether the prediction was accurate or not, only time will tell.

What did The Simpsons predict?

In the 2000 episode “Bart To The Future,” Donald Trump was actually referred to as POTUS. The episode stars Lisa as the president, who says in the Oval Office, “As you know, we inherited quite a budget crisis from President Trump.”

In 2017, the week after Trump became the 45th US president, the recurring joke at the beginning of the show was, “Being right sucks.” The forecast seemed pretty spot on, considering that Trump’s administration was set to oversee the third-highest deficit increase of any president.

In the recent past, the episode went viral when Harris became the first female US vice president. Lisa was seen wearing clothes very similar to the veep: a purple suit, a pearl necklace and pearl earrings.

Now the same episode is doing the rounds again. Some fans believe that the episode’s already established divination points to Harris winning this election.

The above meme, which has resurfaced, first became viral after Joe Biden announced he was ending his candidacy and endorsing Harris. “Today I would like to express my full support and support to Kamala as our party’s nominee this year. Democrats – it’s time to come together and defeat Trump. Let’s do this,” the president said at the time.

Harris later said she was “honored to receive the president’s endorsement and it is my intention to earn and win this nomination.” “I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party – and unite our nation – to defeat Donald Trump and his extreme Project 2025 agenda. “We have 107 days until Election Day. Together we will fight. And together we will win,” Harris wrote.
