Trader consensus on Polymarket prices Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at 49% implied probability to secure the Republican presidential nomination in 2028, driven by his high-profile role as HHS Secretary pushing MAHA reforms despite federal court injunctions halting vaccine policy changes last week, resonating with the GOP base's distrust of public health agencies. Vice President J.D. Vance holds 37%, buoyed by incumbency advantage but tempered by a recent odds dip to 18% amid speculation of waning Trump favor, while Secretary of State Marco Rubio climbs to 21% following a late-March New Hampshire poll naming him second behind Vance. With President Trump's term limits creating an open primary field, traders weigh VP path-to-victory dynamics, early primary signals like Granite State preferences, and geopolitical tensions including Iran escalations favoring foreign policy resumes ahead of 2026 midterms.
