"The Simpsons" writer comments on Kamala Harris predictions: "I'm proud"

"The Simpsons" might have done it again – an episode of the show that aired in 2000 seemingly predicted even more details of what could soon be real-life events. In the flash-forward episode "Bart to the Future", Lisa Simpson becomes president and wears a purple suit and pearls that are uncannily similar to what Kamala Harris – who is now running for president – wore when she was inaugurated as vice president.

Show screenwriter Al Jean touted the parallels on social media Sunday, shortly after Mr. Biden announced he was dropping out of the 2024 presidential race. 

"@TheSimpsons 'prediction' I'm proud to be a part of," Jean wrote, sharing side-by-side images of Lisa and Harris wearing the strikingly similar outfits.
