In the 2000 episode Bart to the Future, The Simpsons depicted Lisa Simpson as the first female president of the United States, following a fictional presidency led by Donald Trump.
This portrayal sparked discussions suggesting that the show had anticipated Kamala Harris’s potential rise to the presidency, particularly after she became the first female vice president in 2021. The similarities between Lisa’s outfit in the episode a purple suit and pearls and Harris’s attire during her inauguration further fueled these interpretations.
However, the outcome of the 2024 U.S. presidential election, reported by People on November 6, 2024, revealed Donald Trump defeating Kamala Harris.
This result contradicted the widely speculated scenario wherein Harris would succeed Trump as president, as inferred by some from the show's storyline. Thus, the prediction associated with The Simpsons did not unfold as expected.
This example underscores the limitations of interpreting fictional storylines as accurate predictors of real-world events.
While The Simpsons has coincidentally depicted events that later came to pass, such as Trump’s first presidency, its portrayals do not always correspond with reality. The 2024 election results illustrate that, despite occasional similarities, fictional narratives should not be considered prophetic.
