With Donald Trump ineligible for a third term due to constitutional term limits, Polymarket traders view Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the frontrunner for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination at 49% implied probability, propelled by his high-profile endorsement of Trump during the 2024 campaign, subsequent nomination as HHS secretary, and appeal to anti-establishment voters amid ongoing confirmation scrutiny. Vice President-elect J.D. Vance trails closely at 36.5%, bolstered by his role as heir apparent and strong debate performances that solidified MAGA support. Marco Rubio's 22.4% share stems from his Secretary of State nomination, enhancing his foreign policy profile. Trump's November 2024 victory and late-2024 cabinet announcements have catalyzed this early positioning, though 2027 primaries and Senate confirmations could reshape the field.
