Trader consensus on Polymarket positions Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the frontrunner for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination at 49%, driven by his prominent role as HHS Secretary implementing health policy reforms that resonate with the populist base, including recent statements aligning his family's legacy with President Trump's agenda on foreign policy and the middle class. Vice President J.D. Vance holds 36.5% amid a sharp recent drop to record lows, possibly tied to perceptions in ongoing foreign policy debates like the Iran conflict, despite winning today's CPAC straw poll at 53%. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's 20.8% reflects gains from handling the Iran war escalation and emerging GOP donor "draft Rubio" efforts, highlighting an open primary field post-Trump's term limit. 2026 midterms loom as a key test.
