Trader consensus on Polymarket positions HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the frontrunner for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination at 49%, ahead of Vice President J.D. Vance (36.5%) and Secretary of State Marco Rubio (21.6%), amid an open primary field following President Trump's term limits. Recent escalation in the Iran conflict has dented Vance's anti-forever-war brand, with reports on March 20 noting his indecision on a run due to family priorities and odds dipping below 37% by March 23. Rubio has gained from his diplomatic role, fueling a shadow "draft Rubio" donor push (March 16) and Trump's informal polling of advisers on Vance versus Rubio (February). Polls like JL Partners (March 5, Vance 53%) and New Hampshire surveys diverge from market pricing, underscoring uncertainty ahead of early primaries.
