The Full Story
In 'Bart to the Future', set thirty years in the future, Lisa Simpson is President of the United States — the first female president, inheriting a depleted Treasury and enormous budget deficits from her unnamed predecessor. The United States has never elected a female president; Kamala Harris became the first female major-party presidential nominee in 2024 before losing to Donald Trump. AOC and Harris lead 2028 Democratic primary polling as of early 2026, with the episode's prophecy still one election cycle away.
Analysis
AOC and Kamala Harris are the top female names in 2028 Democratic polling as of early 2026. Harris leads in rematch polling against Trump. AOC is surging with under-35 voters. Gavin Newsom leads prediction markets at 27%. The US has never elected a female president but the 2028 candidate pool is stronger than ever.
