Kushal Kumar, who is often referred to as ‘Indian Nostradamus’, recently shared his insight on the political showdown between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, who are the two top candidates for the upcoming US Presidential elections. While the astrologer acknowledged that Harris had more goodwill, he went on to explain that there can be no definite conclusions drawn on who will become the next president without a thorough look at their birth chart. However, he hinted that the winner will have the attributes more commonly attributed to Harris. “As regards the person who appears to have a greater chance to be the US President in the 2024 Presidential elections, a detailed analysis of birth charts of the candidates who may finally emerge contesting, would be called for. However, the planetary suggestion can be read to say that the person has a high-level lawyer-like or a sound economist-like mindset, a gifted argument maker while taking struggle head-on suits him,” he wrote on Medium. Opinions shared by a significant portion of American viewers following the debate, as reflected in various news reports, seem to align with the writer's earlier predictions regarding Vice President Kamala Harris. These observations suggest that her characteristics may position her as a potential contender to lead the country in the upcoming November 2024 U.S. Presidential election.
