West Virginia and Kentucky Called for Trump, Vermont Goes to Biden

Share

President Donald Trump has won Kentucky, and Democrat Joe Biden has carried Vermont.

They are the first two states called in the 2020 presidential election.

Kentucky is reliably conservative, while Vermont is considered one of the most liberal states.

Trump wins eight electoral votes from Kentucky, while Biden takes three for winning Vermont.

Trump has coasted to victory in West Virginia, taking its five electoral votes.

The Republican nominee defeated Biden on Tuesday in a reliably conservative state.

The last Democrat to win a presidential race in West Virginia was Bill Clinton in 1996.

Trump defeated Clinton in West Virginia four years ago by 42 percentage points, one of his highest margins of victory in the nation.
