Former President Donald Trump has again won Kentucky’s eight electoral votes.

The Associated Press called Kentucky for the Republican presidential nominee shortly after polls closed Tuesday in the state’s Central Time Zone.

Trump was leading Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris by approximately 31 percentage points with nearly all of Kentucky’s 120 counties reporting, according to unofficial results from the State Board of Elections, .

Unofficial results show turnout in the election at 58.83% of Kentucky’s approximately 3.5 million registered voters, shy of the turnout of 60.3% in the 2020 general election.?

Trump’s win in the Bluegrass State was expected, given the former president’s victories of more than 25 percentage points in Kentucky in 2020 and 2016. In his two earlier races, Trump won all but the two largest of Kentucky’s 120 counties, Jefferson and Fayette, home to Louisville and Lexington. Unofficial results show he again won all counties except for Jefferson and Fayette.?

The Republican Party of Kentucky wrote in a post on X: “Kentucky voters have spoken and sent a clear message: Kentucky is Trump country!”

Republicans also easily held onto five of Kentucky’s six seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. Democrats fielded no candidates against Republican U.S. Reps. Thomas Massie and Hal Rogers. Democratic U.S. Rep. Morgan McGarvey, representing Kentucky’s lone Democratic-leaning congressional district in Louisville, won a second term.?

The Associated Press has called victories in Kentucky’s congressional races for:

• Republican Rep. James Comer over Democrat Erin Marshall in the 1st Congressional District.
• Republican Rep. Brett Guthrie over Democrat Hank Linderman in the 2nd Congressional District.
• McGarvey over Republican Mike Craven in the 3rd Congressional district.?
• Republican Rep. Andy Barr over Democrat Randy Cravens in the 6th Congressional District.?
