Donald Trump has been elected as the next President of the United States, defeating Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race. This outcome disproves a widely discussed prediction from the popular animated series The Simpsons, which many fans believed had foretold a female president would follow Trump’s return.
In the 2000 episode “Bart to the Future,” Lisa Simpson, dressed in a suit similar to Harris’s signature style, becomes president following a Trump presidency. In the scene, President Lisa mentions inheriting a “budget crunch from President Trump,” sparking viral theories that Kamala Harris would step into the Oval Office after Trump’s tenure.
When Trump was first elected in 2016, the episode gained renewed attention for its uncanny accuracy. However, with Harris’s defeat in the recent election, The Simpsons prediction has proven to be off the mark this time.

Though known for its unexpected real-world predictions, The Simpsons did not foresee the 2024 election’s outcome, as Trump’s victory means that a female president will not immediately succeed him.
