Kentucky was won by former California Governor Ronald Reagan (R) by a slim margin of 1 point. As of the 2024 presidential election, this marks the last time that Scott County, Shelby County, Boyle County, Woodford County, Grant County, Anderson County, Mercer County, Pendleton County, and Washington County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate and the most recent election where Kentucky voted to the left of the national popular vote.
