How Veep and The Simpsons Predicted Kamala Harris' Presidential Run

pus is leaving he's not gonna run for a second term I'm gonna run I am proud to be America's first straight female president did vep and The Simpsons predict kamla Harris's presidential run you have a great Knack predicting the future on that show we really have um I like to joke that they have a crystal ball in the middle of the writer's table uh you know it it's it's so great and it is uncanny The Uncanny connections coming as President Joe Biden announced he's stepping down from the 2024 presidential election and fully endorsing his vice

president kamla Harris there should be no question no question about it my favorite Harris memes are all the vep clips that are making the rounds you know the HBO show really foreshadowed some of this Democratic plot line one of those Veep story lines when vice president president Selena Meyer tells her team the president isn't going to run for a second term I have something to say I've literally no idea what you're going to say I'm not leaving pus is leaving he's not going to run for a second term I'm going to run on Sunday when

the Biden news broke HBO was so smart they put vep right on the top of the max app you know right in front of the streaming app so everybody would see it again then there's the Simpsons we've got quite a track record which is impressive I believe we probably hold the Guinness Book of World Records on predictions but just lucky I guess the most recent guess an episode from 2000 where Lisa Simpson becomes the first female president excellent question yes I am proud to be America's first straight female president then in another episode fans noticed

Lisa wore a purple Blazer Pearl neck and earrings similar to what Kamala wore during the 2021 inauguration the series longtime showrunner Al jeene tweeting out the simpsons's prediction I'm proud to be a part of did predict the next president is Lisa Simpson so we do have that to look forward to it's all coming true and it wouldn't be the first time The Simpsons political predictions came true an old episode had Lisa for telling Donald Trump's presidency as you know we've inherited quite a budget crunch from president Trump how bad is it secretary van hton we're

broke the country is broke how can that be there's usually quite a time lag before it then happens in real life but you the writers will tell you that the whole Trump thing becoming president was they thought to themselves who's the most ridiculous ridiculous celebrity who could become president and it was Trump and and then that happened now there's been a call from the fans could you please predict something really nice something really happy and positive happening for now it's TBD on if comma will follow in Lisa's footsteps as president but with that track record
