In "Bart to the Future," Lisa Simpson replaces Donald Trump as president, wearing an outfit that is eerily similar to Kamala Harris' inauguration suit.
Could "The Simpsons" have done it again? An episode that aired in 2000 may have predicted even more precise details of future events, which is both intriguing and unsettling for fans. In the flash-forward episode "Bart to the Future," Lisa Simpson becomes president and sports a purple suit and pearls, an outfit strikingly reminiscent of what Kamala Harris - now a presidential candidate - wore during her vice-presidential inauguration. Show screenwriter Al Jean highlighted this similarity on social media, sharing a side-by-side comparison. The eerie parallels don't end there: in the episode, Lisa succeeds Donald Trump as president, mirroring how Harris could potentially face Trump in the upcoming election if she secures the Democratic nomination.
Dan Greaney, the episode's writer, previously described the plot as a "warning to America."
