Markets on Polymarket currently assign just a 1% probability to New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy winning the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, signaling significant skepticism about his chances.
Murphy, who has served as governor since 2018, has gained national attention for his progressive policies and leadership in a key Democratic state. However, the market's low confidence may reflect the crowded field of potential 2028 contenders, including high-profile figures like Vice President Kamala Harris and California Governor Gavin Newsom, who are seen as more likely frontrunners.
The market's pricing suggests traders see Murphy as a long-shot candidate, despite his efforts to build a national profile. With high liquidity and over $29,000 in trading volume in the past 24 hours, the market's signal is considered reliable. The market will resolve on November 7, 2028, after the Democratic nominee is officially determined.
