Nomination market draws activity
DeFi Rate places the 50-outcome nominee market fourth on its top 50 board. Its update was published Nov 6, 2026, at 3:45 PM ET.
Marco Rubio follows Vance at 21 cents, with Ron DeSantis next at 18 cents, according to DeFi Rate. Those prices put Vance ahead of both named rivals, though his contract remains below 50 cents.
Platforms differ on Vance
Polymarket prices Vance at 38 cents, according to DeFi Rate, compared with 34 cents on Kalshi. The figures show a platform-level difference in pricing for the same prospective nominee, rather than a single market consensus.
What it means for prediction markets
- Vance leads the reported field, but a leading price below 50 cents does not indicate a majority probability of securing the nomination.
- The 34-cent Kalshi price and 38-cent Polymarket price provide distinct snapshots; the supplied reporting does not explain the difference.
- The 908,000 dollars traded over 24 hours measures activity in the nominee market, not trading exclusively in Vance’s contract.
- With 50 outcomes, the market extends beyond Vance, Rubio and DeSantis; the supplied figures do not describe the remaining field.
