The betting platform Polymarket launched its 2028 presidential election sweepstakes on Friday, giving users a chance to buy and sell shares on who they believe will win the White House.
Vice President JD Vance is the early favorite overall, sitting at 27 percent, according to the site. California Gov. Gavin Newsom trails behind at 17 percent, followed by New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at 10 percent. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and others round out the top of the board.
Kamala Harris, who was the Democrats’ 2024 nominee and former vice president, sits far down the list at just 4 percent, one point behind President Donald Trump, who is constitutionally barred from running again after completing two terms.
Among Democrats, Newsom leads the field with a 22 percent chance, followed by Ocasio-Cortez at 18 percent, Buttigieg at 12 percent, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro at 7 percent, and Harris at 6 percent.
