Here’s a list of all the results from Kentucky’s 2024 primary election that were reported on the Board of Elections site. These include federal, state legislative, and some judges and county attorneys.
Notes
- The list works much better in light mode than dark.
- If the race is a one-party race, so that the primary determines the overall winner, it’s marked as primary only.
- If the winner of the primary still has to face an opponent from the other party in the fall, it’s marked as on to general.
- For those marked “on to general,” the opponent in the fall is listed.
- If the incumbent is running in the primary, their name is in bold.
- If the incumbent does not have a primary, they are listed with “inc” by their name in the race header.
- And, if the incumbent is not running at all, the race is marked as open seat.
- Finally, if you want some really in-depth reporting on the Liberty-vs-establishment subplot, check this article from Joe Sonka. As always, Joe does solid work.
Federal
- As expected, Trump won the Repub primary with 85% of the vote, with Haley getting 6% and “Uncommitted” getting 4%.
- Biden won the Dem primary with 71% of the vote, with “Uncommitted” getting 18%.
- Hank Linderman won the right to challenge Brett Guthrie in the 2nd Congressional District.
- Morgan McGarvey won the Dem nomination in the 3rd with 84% of the vote. His opponent in the fall will be Mike Craven.
- Thomas Massie and Hal Rogers both easily won their primaries in the 4th and 5th districts.
- The Dem nomination in the 6th Congressional is very close, with Randy Cravens in the lead at 26%, Todd Kelly at 25%, and Shauna Rudd at 24%. The winner takes on Andy Barr in the fall.
