“<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/the-simpsons">The Simpsons</a>” writer Al Jean celebrated that the popular animated show had once again made an accurate prediction now that Vice President Kamala Harris is running for president.
President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/joe-biden-withdraws-from-the-race-but-not-the-white-house-what-now">Joe Biden</a> announced on Sunday on X that he was withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race and endorsing Harris for president. Following the news, screenwriter for the show, Al Jean, reacted to the news, the <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/07/22/entertainment/simpsons-writer-reacts-to-kamala-harris-presidential-run-prediction/">New York Post</a> reported.
“@TheSimpsons ‘prediction’ I’m proud to be a part of,” he <a href="https://x.com/AlJean/status/1815107357669834777">wrote</a> on X. His post included a screenshot of an image from a “Simpsons” episode in 2000, showing Lisa Simpson being sworn in as the first female president. She was wearing the same purple jacket and string of pearls that Harris wore during Biden’s inauguration ceremony in 2021.
On Sunday, after Biden announced he would not seek reelection after all, many others on social media began sharing the same image on X, suggesting that the popular cartoon had predicted Harris would run for the Oval Office.

“The Simpsons as Prophetic has become one of the most enduring mysteries of our times!” one person <a href="https://x.com/ZWardynski/status/1815126514733916601">wrote</a>.
“It’s unnerving how often these predictions have been spot on,” another person added.
The <a href="https://x.com/THR/status/1815421049510490428">Hollywood Reporter</a> noted that the episode not only appeared to predict Harris, but also that it happened after Lisa Simpson took office from “real estate mogul Donald Trump.”
“We inherited quite the budget crunch from President Trump,” Lisa Simpson said in the episode.

Following the assassination attempt eight days ago against Trump, “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/simpsons-showrunner-hits-back-at-horrifying-suggestion-that-show-predicted-trump-assassination-attempt">The Simpsons</a>” showrunner Matt Selman hit back at the “horrifying” suggestion that the show somehow predicted the attempted assassination.
After a shooter opened fire on the former president during his rally in Pennsylvania, injuring Trump and killing one of his supporters, a meme began surfacing on social media showing a false image of Trump from the cartoon lying in a casket, with the caption, “First time I’ve seen a ‘Simpsons’ prediction fail.”
Speaking to <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2024/07/17/simpsons-showrunner-condemns-faux-fake-trump-death-assassination-prediction/">TMZ</a>, Selman slammed the image in the strongest terms, making it clear the writers and show would never have an episode about assassinating the former president and that a cartoon Trump never appeared in a casket.
“Anyone who thinks ‘The Simpsons’ would include such horrifying content on a family TV show doesn’t really watch the show or have any understanding of ‘The Simpsons’ at all,” Selman told the outlet.
Internet users falsely believing the meme came from the cartoon most likely stems from the reputation “The Simpsons” have earned after it’s been able to seemingly predict the future more than once.
