Trader consensus on Polymarket positions Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the frontrunner for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination at 49%, buoyed by his role as HHS Secretary in the Trump administration, strong MAGA appeal from his prior Trump endorsement, and recent family speculation—including cousin Jack Schlossberg's March assertion of a "definite" run—despite his own denials. Vice President J.D. Vance holds 37% implied probability, leveraging incumbency and CPAC straw poll leads (53%), though reports of President Trump's private donor polling favoring Secretary of State Marco Rubio (now at 21%) have boosted the latter amid diverging stances on the ongoing Iran war. With Trump term-limited, the open primary remains fluid ahead of early state contests.
