Trader consensus on Polymarket prices Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at 49% implied probability to secure the 2028 Republican presidential nomination, ahead of Vice President J.D. Vance (36.5%) and Secretary of State Marco Rubio (20.5%), diverging from traditional polling averages where Vance holds a commanding lead. RFK Jr.'s surge stems from his high-profile HHS role advancing Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) reforms resonating with the GOP base, coupled with March speculation from family members affirming a likely run despite his prior denials. Recent CPAC straw poll (March 28) reaffirmed Vance's conservative activist support while Rubio gained amid reports of President Trump informally polling advisers on Vance versus Rubio successors and GOP donors plotting a "draft Rubio" push elevated by foreign policy handling in the Iran conflict. With primaries over 20 months away, Trump's endorsement remains the pivotal factor amid high uncertainty.
