The2020 United States presidential election in Kentucky was held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, as part of the2020 United States presidential election in which all 50 states plus theDistrict of Columbia participated.[2]Kentucky voters chose electors to represent them in theElectoral College via a popular vote, pitting theRepublican Party's nominee, incumbent PresidentDonald Trump, and running mateVice PresidentMike Pence againstDemocratic Party nominee, former Vice PresidentJoe Biden, and his running mate California SenatorKamala Harris. Kentucky has eight electoral votes in the Electoral College.[3]
Trump won Kentucky by a 25.94% margin in this election, down from his margin of 29.84% in 2016. Prior to the election, all 12 news organizations considered this a state Trump would win, or a safe red state. Kentucky has not supported a Democratic nominee since it narrowly supported fellow SouthernerBill Clinton in1996. Trump's overhaul ofObama-eracoal emissionsstandards helped him win coal-industry households,[4] once again sweeping the historically-DemocraticEastern Kentucky counties. Trump also carried 83% ofWhiteevangelical/born-againChristians, perexit polls by theAssociated Press.[5]
In addition to Trump's victory in the Commonwealth, Biden became the first Democrat to win the presidency without winningElliott County since the county was founded in 1869,[6] as well as only the second Democrat to ever lose Elliott County in a presidential election, preceded only byHillary Clintonfour years earlier. This also marks the second consecutive election in which no county in theEastern Kentucky Coalfield voted Democratic. Furthermore, this is the first time since1948 thatFayette County, the second-most populous county in the state and home to the city ofLexington, voted to the left ofJefferson County, the most populous county in the state and home to the city ofLouisville, in a presidential election.
The primary elections were originally scheduled for May 19, 2020. On March 16, they were moved to June 23 due to concerns over theCOVID-19 pandemic.[7]
Incumbent PresidentDonald Trump ran unopposed in the Republican primary. The state has 46 delegates to the2020 Republican National Convention.[8]
