Marco Rubio's chances of being next president rise after Maduro capture

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has seen a significant boost in his chances of becoming the next US President, according to cryptocurrency-based prediction markets, following Venezuela's president Nicolas Maduro and his wife being captured.

Rubio's odds have risen from 7.8% to around 9%, nearly doubling since the capture took place on January 3rd. Several sources attribute this rise in his chances due to Vice President JD Vance not appearing at a high-level news conference following the operation, instead joining via video conference. This perceived absence has seemingly boosted Rubio's standing in the Republican presidential primary.

However, an AtlasIntel poll conducted just before Maduro's capture showed Vance dominating with 47% of the vote, followed by Rubio at 23%. Yet another Echelon Insights poll also saw Vance taking a double-digit lead over other potential candidates.

It remains to be seen if Rubio will actually run in the 2028 Republican primary. In response to speculation about Trump's successor in the party's nomination, he mentioned that he would support Vice President JD Vance if the latter decided to compete.
 
idk why rudy's odds are gonna make it lol, i mean vance is still way ahead, but i guess when people are distracted by maduro drama they're more likely 2 think about whoever's not on TV rn 👀💭
 
I'm loving this US presidential drama 🤯! So Marco Rubio is gaining traction and it's all because JD Vance didn't show up at a conference 📺? That's wild. I mean, if you're not making waves, people might start thinking you're the dark horse 👀. And now he's saying he'll support Vance if he decides to run... that's some interesting party politics 💼. Can't wait to see how this all plays out in 2028 🤔. Maybe Rubio will be the one who surprises everyone and wins it all! 🎉
 
I'm loving how the Republicans are already having a drama fest... like, who needs actual policy discussions when you can speculate about who'll be the next "it" person? 🙄 Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for someone to actually answer some of those pressing questions about Venezuela's situation, but nope, let's talk about Rubio and Vance instead 😂. And what's with the whole "Vance didn't show up at the news conference" thing? Like, is that really a thing now? 🤣
 
I'm low-key surprised by this development... I mean, what if it's true? 🤔 I was thinking Rubio had a shot but not as strong as this. But wait, I thought for sure it'd be Trump or someone else entirely! 😮 And now that the dust is settling, I think Rubio might actually have a legit shot at it? The polls were so different though... like, 47% for Vance? That's wild 🤯. I'm torn between thinking he'd be a great candidate and also worried about how the party would fracture if he joins. Ugh, my mind is all over the place 😂
 
🤔 I'm low-key surprised by Marco Rubio's rise in the polls... like, it's not impossible, but I thought JD Vance was gonna be a shoo-in for the VP spot and the eventual presidential run 🤑. The whole video conference thing did make me think he might've dodged a bullet, lol. On the other hand, Rubio's been quietly building his brand and making some smart moves in the Senate... maybe this is actually a sign that he's ready to take on Trump (again) 🤯. Still, it's hard to predict what'll happen without him officially throwing his hat into the ring 🎩. Do you think Rubio's got what it takes to go up against Vance or other contenders? 🤔
 
lol what's going on here 🤯 Marco Rubio's odds just skyrocketed like a crypto whale 🐳! I mean, I'm not surprised though, it's like, when your opponent's top dog is off-camera, you're basically the one in charge 💁‍♀️. But seriously, JD Vance is still looking strong if my polls are right 📊. I love how the format of these prediction markets is so different from traditional polling - it's like a game show 🔴️️️! And Rubio's 'I'll support Vance' move? More like 'Hey, look at me, I'm a team player' 🤝🏽! Will he actually run in 2028? We'll have to wait and see 😐.
 
I'm low-key surprised at how much of a swing Rubio's got in those prediction markets lol 🤯 Given all the talk around VP Vance's apparent absence from that news conference and the whole Maduro situation, I thought for sure Vance would be where it was at. But now I see why some folks think Rubio might be making a move 💡 It's def weird that he'd back Vance if he decides to run though - that could be seen as either super loyal or a calculated ploy 🤔 Either way, with the 2028 primary still so far out, anything can happen at this point 🔄
 
I gotta say, this whole thing is all over the place 🤯. I mean, Rubio goes from 7.8% to 9% overnight? That's like a major layout refresh for his campaign 📈. And now he's talking about supporting Vance if he runs? Like, how does that play out in the end? Is it just a good cop/bad cop thing or what? 🤔
 
I'm thinking, have you noticed how this whole thing is playing out like a big game of politics? Rubio sees an opportunity and he's running with it, but let's not forget where he stands - as a Republican in a party that's already got some internal drama going on.

This whole scenario reminds me of the Democrats' struggles to unite behind their candidate. I mean, just look at how Vance is handling this situation, staying mum for now. It's almost like they're playing the long game here, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Meanwhile, Rubio is trying to capitalize on his newfound momentum, but can he sustain it?

And then there's Trump - always lurking in the background, waiting for his chance to make a comeback. This whole thing is just getting more and more interesting. I'm keeping an eye on it, that's for sure!
 
the whole thing with venezuela just got super interesting 🤔 and it looks like marco rubio is trying to cash in on it, lol. i mean, 9% is still a pretty long shot, but who knows, maybe being seen as the 'other man' will give him some momentum going into the primaries. you'd think that JD Vance would be the clear favorite right now, especially with those poll numbers from before maduro's capture. and honestly, it's kinda funny that rubio is trying to position himself as trump's possible successor - like, he's not even in the running yet! 🤑 but hey, i guess you have to respect his willingness to play the game... for now
 
omg u guys i just cant even think about this rn like Marco Rubio is literally on fire lol his chances of becoming president are SO increased now lol maybe its cuz JD Vance didnt show up 2 dat news conference 🤔 but honestly i gotta ask what happened between those two anyway its not like we have the tea or anything lol but seriously if JD Vance was supposed 2 win the nomination already wth why didnt he? 😂 and now Rubio is all "i got ur back JD" ahh man politics 🤑
 
So I'm reading this news and it's crazy how quickly things can change! 🤯 Rubio's odds of becoming president are basically shot up overnight... 7.8% to 9% in like a week?! That's wild! And what's with JD Vance just ghosting that conference? 🤔 It makes you wonder if he was hiding something or just didn't want to be seen. I'm not sure what's more surprising, the rise of Rubio's odds or how quickly the attention shifted from him to Vance. 🤷‍♀️

I feel like this is going to get super interesting in the republican primary... and Trump's role in all of this is basically a wild card right now? The fact that Rubio said he'd support Vance if he runs is just another layer to add to the complexity. It's gonna be fun to watch how things play out! 🎉
 
I'm like totally surprised by this news 🤯! I mean, Rubio was never really in my radar for president, but now he's suddenly got a decent shot? I guess when you think about it, if JD Vance isn't appearing at all these big conferences and stuff, people might be like "wait, what happened to him?" And maybe that's actually going to help Rubio out 🤔. On the other hand, I don't know man...I still got a hunch that Vance is gonna run anyway, and if he does, Rubio will probably just get left behind 🤷‍♂️. The thing that really gets me though is how fast this all changed - like, it was 7.8% one day and then suddenly 9%! That's wild 💥. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it all...
 
🤔 So I'm watching these US politics prediction markets and Rubio's odds just skyrocketed 🚀 from 7.8% to 9%. Meanwhile, Venezuela's president getting captured and his wife being taken is like, totally a wild card, right? 🤯 But here's the thing - it seems like JD Vance isn't playing the game as well as people thought he was 😐. I mean, he didn't show up at that news conference... that's gotta count for something, right? 📊 According to AtlasIntel poll, Vance is still dominating with 47% of the vote, but Rubio is now closing in. 🤝 And get this - if Vance decides to run, Rubio is already backing him! 💯 That's a big move. Is Rubio actually gonna make a bid for the presidency? Only time will tell ⏰. Maybe we'll see a shake-up in the Republican primary 🔥.
 
Idk why people are so surprised about this... I mean, someone's gotta fill the void left by Trump's ego, right? 😒 So Rubio's odds are up now? Guess all it takes is a few arrests and some VP drama to get people excited about him. I'm sure JD Vance was just trying to be safe and not rock the boat 🙄... but hey, at least it's not like he actually had any real momentum going into this. 9% might seem small, but hey, it's better than nothing, right? 💸
 
🤔 I'm not sure what to make of this whole situation... seems like politics as usual to me 🙃. I mean, Rubio's odds go up when the competition is weakened - it's like they're playing by the 'least bad option' rule 🤷‍♂️. But Vance is still way out in front in those polls... does that really mean he's got this in the bag? 📈 I guess we'll just have to wait and see how things play out 🕰️. And what about Trump's plans? Is Rubio really just going to follow his lead or is there more to it than meets the eye? 🤔
 
I'm thinking maybe Rubio's surge is a result of people getting tired of the whole 'outsider' vibe with Vance 🤔... I mean, let's be real, 23% in an AtlasIntel poll isn't exactly dominating 📊. Rubio's increase in odds has gotta be more than just speculation about Vance not showing up to the news conference 📺. Did you see that chart from CryptoPicks? 📈 Rubio's odds have risen from 7.8% to 9%, but we need to look at the bigger picture... what if this is all about Rubio positioning himself for a potential run and leveraging Vance's absence to his advantage 💡. The fact that Trump hasn't said anything yet makes me think there might be more to this than meets the eye 🤫...
 
I'm not surprised to see Rubio's odds shoot up after this whole thing went down. I mean, when you think about it, his lack of involvement in all this just seems kinda... deliberate? Like, why wasn't he at that news conference when everyone else was? It's almost like he wanted the spotlight on himself. 🤑 And now, suddenly he's the dark horse in the Republican primary? Give me a break! 👀 I think there's more to this story than meets the eye. Maybe Rubio's been quietly building his team and resources while everyone else is distracted by Venezuela drama. Whatever it is, I'll be keeping an eye on him for sure... 🤔
 
just saw this crazy news and i gotta say, marco rubio's odds of becoming president are low key rising 🤯! like, 7.8% to 9% is no joke! but y'know what's even crazier? JD vance just ghosting the press conference lol, it's all about perception right? anyway, trump's name isn't even mentioned in these polls... i wonder if he'll make a comeback 🤔 still rooting for someone else though 👀
