Trader consensus on Polymarket favors Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at 49% implied probability to secure the 2028 Republican presidential nomination, ahead of Vice President J.D. Vance (37%) and Secretary of State Marco Rubio (22%), as President Trump's two-term limit under the 22nd Amendment opens the primary field. RFK Jr.'s lead reflects his prominent cabinet role and family signals, including cousin Jack Schlossberg's March 7 assertion that he is "definitely" running, alongside early polling trends elevating his profile despite low favorability ratings. Rubio's odds surged recently after reports of Trump privately polling 25 donors and allies on Vance versus Rubio preferences, with most favoring Rubio. Vance holds steady as presumed heir apparent, but a recent CPAC straw poll highlighted the tight race among top contenders ahead of 2026 midterms that could reshape the field.
