HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. leads trader consensus at 49% implied probability for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination, propelled by his high-profile role implementing Make America Healthy Again reforms, recent CPAC speech highlighting HHS achievements, and crossover appeal to populist voters despite judicial blocks on vaccine policy changes. Vice President J.D. Vance follows at 37% after a sharp dip to 18% last week amid reports of donor preferences favoring Secretary of State Marco Rubio (21%), whom President Trump reportedly polled major contributors against Vance as a potential successor. Odds reflect early speculation in Trump's second term, with 2026 midterms poised to shape primary paths amid diverging CPAC straw polls showing Vance ahead.
