Throughout its 768 episodes and 35 seasons on television, “The Simpsons,” the longest-running American animated show, has made eerily accurate predictions about the future. Whether the writers use a crystal ball or it’s a fun coincidence remains a topic of debate. For the believers: One more coincidence — or forecast — has come to light.

Ever since President Biden suspended his campaign, Fox News and right-wing media have been scrambling madly for an effective attack on Vice President Kamala Harris. They’ve ridiculed her laugh. They’ve mocked her as a product of DEI. They’ve attacked her as too soft on crime and too tough on crime.  All of which gets at a larger story: Kamala Harris is very hard for the right to pigeonhole. We talked to Elaina Plott Calabro, a staff writer for The Atlantic who reports trenchantly on Harris’s political career, about why the right’s contortions could prove a major dynamic in the presidential race, and how Harris’s own struggle to find her political identity could now loom large. Listen to this episode here.

A specter has haunted Kamala Harris — the specter of “Veep.” For seven years, Julia Louis-Dreyfus won Emmy after Emmy for playing Selina Meyer, the first female vice president, who grudgingly accepted the job after losing a primary. Midway through the series, the male (and never seen) president opted not to run again; Meyer inherited the job, then lost it, then got it back, while she and her aides wrote some of the most banal speeches (“word-shaped air”) ever loaded into a TelePrompTer.
