Who will Donald Trump endorse in the 2028 presidential election?

Priced on Kalshi and Polymarket at the same moment. These are raw ask prices, what it actually costs to take the position, margin included.

OutcomeKalshiPolymarketCheaper
J.D. Vance 51¢ 50¢ Polymarket
Marco Rubio 31¢ 29¢ Polymarket
Himself 16¢ –
No one 8¢ –
Donald J. Trump Jr. 4¢ –
Ron DeSantis 3¢ 0.9¢ Polymarket

The two venues disagree most on Ron DeSantis: 3¢ on Kalshi against 0.9¢ on Polymarket, a gap of 2.1¢ on the same outcome.

Only outcomes with a live two-sided quote are shown. Polymarket prices are matched to this market by outcome name; where a name has no counterpart the cell is left empty rather than guessed. Prices as of Sun, 11 Oct 2026 06:51:15 UTC.

The overround on this market

Add up what it costs to back every outcome here and Kalshi's board comes to 113%, Polymarket's to 121.2%. A fair book sums to 100. The excess is the house's cut, paid by whoever trades, and it is the reason the same opinion costs different amounts in different places. That number is what this site is named after.

Your call

The market says 51%. It got there by making everyone who disagreed put money behind it. You do not have to, so this is the cheap version of the same question, and the interesting number is how far the two drift apart.

The record

What this market has cost every day since 28 July 2026, taken from the exchange's own published history. The line is the mid price, halfway between what a buyer would pay and a seller would take.

0 25 50 75 100 JulAugSeptOct J.D. Vance 49 Marco Rubio 29 Himself 13.5

Over this window J.D. Vance went from 22.5 to 49, a move of 26.5 points toward happening.

The other 1 contract in this field is left off the chart rather than drawn in a colour nobody could tell apart; it is all in the table above. Kalshi removes a contract from its interface once it settles and Polymarket buries closed events, so this page is the copy that stays put. We also record our own snapshot once a day, independently, because a history published by the house is worth checking against one kept by somebody with no position in it.
