The2022 United States Senate election in Kentucky was held on November 8, 2022, to elect a member of theUnited States Senate to representKentucky. IncumbentRepublicanRand Paul won re-election to a third term, defeatingDemocratic nomineeCharles Booker with 61.8% of the vote.

Paul was first elected in2010 with 55.7% of the vote, filling the seat of retiringJim Bunning, then re-elected in2016 with 57.3% of the vote. Paul ran for a third term.[1] Booker is a former state representative, and was a candidate in the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate in2020. The election was called for Paul shortly after polls closed in the state.[2]

This was the biggest landslide victory for a U.S. Senate race in Kentucky sinceMitch McConnell's win in2002.

Background

[edit]

AlthoughRand Paul supported a constitutional amendment limiting senators to two terms, he said, "I'm not in favor of term limits for some and not others. So I'm not in favor of people self-imposing term limits. I'm a co-sponsor of the constitutional amendment, but I will run again in 2022."[1] Kentucky held its primary election on May 17.[3]

General election

[edit]

Although Paul had initially pledged to serve only one term,[33] he later reversed this stance and ran for re-election.[34] In both2010 and2016, he faced tight races, even as these years were generally unfavorable for the Democratic Party and Kentucky's conservative partisan lean. Paul had gained a reputation as one of the most libertarian senators and often breaks with his party despite still holding conservative views on most issues.[35][36]

Following a narrow primary defeat toAmy McGrath in the2020 Kentucky Senate Democratic primaries, State Representative Charles Booker announced his intention to run again, this time against Paul.[37] Booker positioned himself as a progressive populist, advocating for abortion rights, Universal Basic Income, Medicare for All, and a Green New Deal.[38] He aimed to resonate with traditional Democratic voters in the urban centers of Louisville and Lexington, while also reaching out to ancestral Democrats in Kentucky's Appalachian region.[39]

An early February poll showed Paul leading by only a few points against a generic Democrat.[40] However, a later poll revealed Paul had a substantial lead over Booker.[41] In October, a debate was scheduled to include both Paul and Booker, but Paul did not respond to the invitation, resulting in Booker debating alone.[42]

Paul went on to easily win re-election, improving his 2016 performance by approximately 9 percentage points. However, due to lower voter turnout, he underperformed compared toTrump's 2020 performance in the state by 2 points and received a slightly smaller percentage of the vote.
