Trader consensus on Polymarket prices Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the frontrunner for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination at 49%, reflecting his prominent role as HHS Secretary and the enduring appeal of his Make America Healthy Again agenda to the GOP populist base, despite fresh Senate Republican resistance emerging over the past day to aspects of his health policy push. Vice President J.D. Vance trails closely at 37%, positioned as the natural heir apparent under term-limited President Trump, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio's 21% share has climbed amid reports of Trump privately polling donors and advisers on Vance versus Rubio preferences—many favoring Rubio for his foreign policy handling, including recent Iran tensions—and early "draft Rubio" efforts by GOP megadonors. Midterm outcomes and administration performance will likely intensify this three-way contest.
