Little Marco on the rise as JD Vance dips below key threshold in 2028 presidential betting [View all]

A GOP rival is on the rise while Vice President JD Vance has dipped below an important threshold when it comes to wagering on who will be the Republican Party candidate for president in 2028.

The Kalshi wagering site shows that 18% of those wagering on the race believe that Secretary of State Marco Rubio will be the GOP candidate for president in three years.

On Jan. 3, just 11% of those placing bets on the site picked Rubio to be the nominee.

At the same time, 46.7% of those placing bets on the race believe that Vance will be the nominee.
