According to many netizens, The Simpsons, through one of its episodes foresaw Kamala Harris becoming a vice president.
According to many people, The Simpsons, successfully did this through the 2000 episode dubbed ''Bart to the Future''.
In the episode, Lisa Simpson became the first female president of the United States of America.
Lisa may have become the president and Kamala the vice president years later but the connection was very tenuous.
For starters, Lisa Simpson rocked the exact same purple outfit that Kamala donned during the President's inauguration held on Wednesday, January 20.
The coincidence was so real that even the pearl necklace and earrings Kamala sported were the same as those Lisa rocked.

“Kamala Harris really is Lisa Simpson and I’m all for it,” one “Simpsons” fan wrote on Twitter alongside a composite of VP Harris and her cartoon doppelganger.
“#KamalaHarris reminds me with Lisa Simpson… almost same outfit.” yet another tweep wrote.
The resemblance was so uncanny that some social media users ''accused'' VP Kamala of stealing the idea from the popular show.
“How do we know that Kamala Harris didn’t just copy The Simpsons?” joked a tweet named Jose.
It should be noted the political prophecy may be a coincidence but this is not the first time The Simpsons' prediction came to pass.
The cartoon which was created by Matt Groening most certainly did foresee Donald Trump's presidency and even connected it to Kamala's.
Through the same episode, President Lisa made remarks such as, “We’ve inherited quite a budget crunch from President Trump.”
The Simpsons creators were credited when they predicted Trump's presidency and were lauded even more with the Kamala's prophecy.
