I believe there will be one President in between Trump and the first Millennial President, that person most likely being the Gray Champion.

My top 5:
 (E.M.: horoscope scores I have developed are good guides to whom is really electable for president in the USA; they are like baseball scores of favorable vs. unfavorable factors in one's birth chart)
1. Michael Bloomberg score 7-9
2. Hillary Clinton 7-12 J
3. Joe Biden 16-6
4. Mitt Romney 4-10
5. Elizabeth Warren 6-9

None of these people have any charisma whatsoever. Most of the public figures I can think of fall into two categories
1) gutless bureaucrats who toe the party line and speak with fake passion when they're even able to manage that Mitch McConnel and Nancy Pelosi, HRC, etc)
2) celebrities and politicians with lots of "star quality", overlaying a more shallow, vacuous core of attention-grabbing histrionics (AOC, Meghan and Harry, Leonardo di Caprio, etc)

both types are leftover remnants of the 3T, "keep kicking the can of the future down the road for the sake of the present" mindset that will do nothing to serve us in a crisis era. We need a Grey Champion who exudes strength, authority and fiery resolve, and frankly...there is no one like that to be found at present. When he (and it will be a he) does come, I think it will surprise everyone.

As my scores show, you are correct that none of the 5 you mentioned have much charisma, although Joe had enough to win. None of those 5 are rising new leaders, and it will be none of those (besides Biden) who could be a gray champion. I see very few on the Democratic side with high enough score besides Biden who are willing and in a position to run. And none of today's Republicans can ever be a Gray Champion, because they are all too cautious and reactionary, and because such a champion has always been a progressive relative to the times they are in.

I don't know why you characterize AOC in the way that you do. She is just a good progressive leader with good ideas who has some ability to get herself noticed. Her score is only 12-11, but that's better than 4 of your 5 old fogeys you picked out as your top 5 candidates for gray champion. The other 4 besides Biden are already proven losers. 

Perhaps your last sentence will prove true. But there is no such thing as a gray champion in a first turning, and we have only 6 or 7 years to go before it's over; in other words, Joe Biden's term (unless he loses the general election in 2024, in which case no gray champion will be elected president, unless Joe resigns or drops his candidacy for re-election in 2024, and only one or two possible but unlikely Democratic candidates visible now (not including Kamala Harris, score 3-17) could take his place on the Democratic Party ticket in 2024 and get elected).
