The Simpsons fails to predict future for first time as Kamala fails

The Simpsons has failed to predict the future for the first time ever after Kamala Harris failed in her bid to become President.
The beloved show has long held an eery reputation for forecasting major events - from Donald Trump's rise to power, smart watches, the FIFA corruption scandal and even the Hawk Tuah sensation.
And last month, social media hacks latched onto an episode that aired on March 19, 2000, titled Bart to the Future, which they said proved Harris would clinch victory.
'We all know that the Simpsons has this uncanny ability to predict the future. In an episode, Lisa becomes president and she mainly wears purple suit and pearls, similar to Kamala Harris's outfit in her vice president inauguration. Coincidence? I THINK NOT,' one person said.
'The Simpsons predict Kamala Harris will be President,' said another person who shared a side by side picture of Harris and Lisa as president.
At President Joe Biden's inauguration, held on January 20, 2021, Harris was clad in a purple ensemble designed by Christopher John Rogers with Sergio Hudson-designed shoes and a necklace from Wilfredo Rosado.
In the episode Lisa is elected president, she is seen wearing a purple pantsuit and a strand of pearls.
Compounding the coincidences is that Lisa's presidency comes after an implied presidency from Donald Trump, which caused a massive deficit.
Lisa, as president in the episode, says, 'As you know, we’ve inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump.'
'But look at the Simpsons prediction and it said something bout Trump in this year of 2024 and look at Lisa Simpsons became the first female President and it had Kamala Harris also the first President of the United States,' said a third person.
