If, thanks to Republican vote rigging, Herschel wins, he might theoretically replace Warnock as a potential presidential candidate. So I checked out his horoscope score, and it's 4-10. So if Warnock's almost-reverse positive score of 11-4 means something in the Georgia senate race, as it would in the US presidential race, Warnock will win, and thereby become a potential presidential candidate. Here is Warnock in a brilliant interview on PBS. "People who have no vision traffic in division".
If Warnock were to run in 2024, however, he would face a Saturn Return in 2028, which means that if elected he would be caught up in the emerging civil war scenario and would not likely be re-elected. So it might be worth the risk for him or for us, if he were to run against Trump or DeSantis. Given the indicator showing the challenging Party has an edge, he might not prevail over Tim Scott. Warnock's score is slightly better than Scott's, but other indicators show a possible win by the challenging Party, so a better margin in the score would be preferable; even Joe Biden's.
Herschel has a poor score, but he doesn't face the Saturn Return if he were to run in the future for president.
Remember, even if you don't believe astrology works, the scores are very consistent in showing which candidates have the best appeal as US presidential candidates. The scores are almost entirely based on actual history and the win and loss records of all viable presidential candidates from 1789 to 2020 compared to aspects in their charts.

Another outside-shot Democratic presidential candidate, if the Republicans pick a likely loser, is Mark Kelly (score 13-7), another senator filling a vacated seat now running for re-election in a swing state, AZ. He has appeal as an astronaut and husband of a medal of freedom winner.
Aside from an ideological token, the sort of African-American who creates the least trouble among southern whites may be the preacher. Much more than is so among white people, African-American intellectual talent ends up among clergy, which may explain why much of the top political talent among African-Americans has been clergy. OK, Barack Obama never preached, but he certainly learned from African-American preachers and such was a huge contributor to his rhetorical style.
Except for the Wealth Cult preachers who might as well be white, these preachers do well at winning debates. They ill fit ugly stereotypes that whites (the marginal racists) often have against blacks. Contrast Herschel Walker, who is now practically an ugly stereotype of a semi-literate, amoral black man who pretends to be super-smart and does sleazy stuff. (One can only wonder how much Walker has played around, which is not a racial slur. This smear also applies to Donald Trump, one of the most egregious fornicators who has paid for his sex or conned people into non-marital sex). You can easily trust me on this: it is far easier for a smart person to play dumb than for a dumb person to play smart and pull it off. Smart people in my experience may not like it, but they find it useful for relating to dumb people and avoiding resentments from dimwits.
Senator Raphael Warnock, should he be elected President at some point to be President would be a pioneer for being the first slave-descended President (Obama is the son of an African immigrant, which is a huge cultural difference). Note well: what we Americans consider the Establishment is itself changing, and someone like Senator Raphael Warnock is part of it.
Only rarely do I hear someone speak for 18 minutes and agree with everything that he says. I hardly knew what he is, but I can understand how he got elected. He appealed to the best in us, a clear contrast to someone who appealed to the moral and ideological gutter. He is not going to cut slack for people who choose ignorance and criminality.
Would America be ready for him? Sure. It voted for Barack Obama in a near-landslide and re-elected him decisively.
