    It makes it more likely, but there are so many other factors to consider, like Loeffler being appointed vs Perdue who has at least won an election and is from a political/business dynasty in Georgia. Additionally, Warnock will not have had to work as hard as Ossoff for the significant black vote, not to mention the healthy undercurrent of antisemitism toward Ossoff. Jewish people make up about 1% of the population in Georgia and even less than that are practicing Jews, so even in the liberal and urban areas a lot of stereotypes go unchallenged.
