Kentucky President Results: Trump Wins
Donald Trump has won the Kentucky contest, NBC News projects, and secured the state’s eight Electoral College votes. In 2020, Trump won Kentucky with 62% of the vote to Biden’s 36%. In 2016, Trump won Kentucky with 63% to Hillary Clinton’s 33%. Though Kentucky is reliably red in presidential elections and Republicans enjoy a supermajority in both state legislative chambers, a Democrat, Andy Beshear, was elected governor in 2019.

NBC News isn’t showing a breakdown by type of vote in Kentucky. Some states and some individual counties provide results broken down by the type of ballot cast, which can include Election Day votes, or those cast early, either in person or by mail. That information isn’t widely available in Kentucky.
The expected vote is the total number of votes that are expected in a given race once all votes are counted. This number is an estimate and is based on several different factors, including information on the number of votes cast early as well as information provided to our vote reporters on Election Day from county election officials. The figure can change as NBC News gathers new information.
