Trader consensus on Polymarket prices HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the frontrunner at 49% implied probability for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination, well ahead of Vice President J.D. Vance (37%) and Secretary of State Marco Rubio (21%), diverging from national polling averages where Vance leads decisively around 45%. RFK Jr.'s edge reflects his high-profile Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) initiatives as HHS head, resonating with populist GOP voters on health and vaccine policy reforms, amplified by his cousin's March 7 assertion of a "definite" 2028 bid despite prior denials. Vance holds as natural successor amid incumbency advantages, while Rubio gains from his March diplomatic role in Iran tensions and quiet GOP donor drafting efforts. With primaries over two years away, early speculation and $490 million in volume underscore an open, contested field.
