'The Simpsons' Writer 'Proud' of Kamala Harris Predictions

There are a number of parallels connecting a 2000 episode of 'The Simpsons' to Kamala Harris' current presidential campaign.

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. Several other social media users over the weekend pointed to the latest parallel, with one person writing, "The Simpsons as Prophetic has become one of the most enduring mysteries of our times." Fans noticed parallels when Hanks was tapped to host an inauguration special called "Celebrating America," playing a similar role to that of his spokesman-like character in The Simpsons.
