Vice President JD Vance leads early Polymarket odds for the 2028 presidential election at 17.7% implied probability, buoyed by his recent victory in the CPAC straw poll with 53% support—his second straight win among conservative activists—reflecting incumbency advantages as the sitting VP under President Trump and strong GOP base consolidation. California Governor Gavin Newsom trails closely at 16.4%, bolstered by commanding leads in March Democratic primary polls, including a double-digit edge over Kamala Harris in California, positioning him as the traders' Democratic frontrunner amid a fragmented field. Marco Rubio's 10.3% share surged post-CPAC, where he placed second at 35%. The tight race persists due to the early stage, absence of primaries, and open fields on both sides; separation could emerge from 2026 midterms, party conventions, or Trump's endorsement signals before his term limit.
