Former President Donald Trump won Kentucky for the third consecutive election on Tuesday, adding eight electoral votes to his tally.
The Republican nominee for president has won Kentucky in every election since Democrat Bill Clinton carried the Bluegrass State in 1996.
Kentucky's most powerful Republican, Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, once called Trump "morally responsible" for the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack.
But in a remarkable turnaround, McConnell endorsed Trump's bid to return to the White House.
During Trump's term, the two worked together to pass a tax cuts package and to put three conservative justices on the Supreme Court.
The Associated Press declared Trump the winner at 7:00 p.m. EST.
Republican Donald Trump won the presidential election in Indiana on Tuesday.
The reliably conservative state, where Republicans have held the governor's office for 20 years, gave Trump its 11 electoral votes over Democrat Kamala Harris.
Indiana has been favorable toward Trump in his three races for the White House.
In 2016, the year he won the presidency, and again in 2020, Trump took 57% of the Hoosier state vote.
The Associated Press declared Trump the winner at 7:00 p.m. EST.
