Vance tops Republican nomination pricing as platforms show different odds
DeFi Rate ranks the market 13th on its November 6 top 50 board. Marco Rubio is next at 22 cents, followed by Ron DeSantis at 18 cents.
J.D. Vance leads the market for the 2028 Republican presidential nomination, priced at 34 cents on Kalshi and 38.6 cents on Polymarket, according to DeFi Rate.
The update, published Nov 6, 2026, at 8:30 AM ET, lists Marco Rubio next at 22 cents, followed by Ron DeSantis at 18 cents. The supplied summary does not identify which platform those two prices represent.
Trading activity and ranking
DeFi Rate reports 442,000 dollars traded in 24 hours for the nomination market. The summary does not break that volume down by platform or candidate.
The market places 13th on DeFi Rate’s November 6 top 50 board. That ranking accompanies Vance’s lead, but the supplied material does not specify the board’s ranking criteria.
What it means for prediction markets
- Vance leads the reported field on both platforms, though neither listed price implies a majority probability of winning the nomination.
- Kalshi and Polymarket show different prices for the same candidate. The summary provides no explanation for that difference.
- Rubio and DeSantis follow in the reported ordering, but the unspecified platform for their prices limits direct comparisons with Vance’s contracts.
