United States presidential election in Kentucky, 2020

The 2020 United States presidential election in Kentucky took place on November 3, 2020, as part of the 2020 United States presidential election. Voters chose eight representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice-President.

Kentucky was won by incumbent President William C. Holland (D-Texas), with 54.09% of the popular vote, against Senator John Dickenson (R-Mississippi), with 45.06% of the popular vote, a margin of 9.03%. The state thus weighed in as 24.57% more Republican than the national aveage.

Holland won 82 of Kentucky's 120 counties and five of its six congressional districts. He performed especially well in Northeastern Kentucky, the most Democratic region in the state, breaking 60% in six counties and 70% in 7 counties in this region. He earned over sixty percent of the vote in Jefferson County, home to the state's largest city, Louisville, and in 11 other counties in Central and Western Kentucky, as well as passing 70% in two additional counties (Nelson and Marion). He also won Fayette County, home to Lexington, and Franklin County, home to the state capital of Frankfort. Dickenson, however, put up a strong performance in traditionally Republican Southeastern Kentucky, breaking 60% in 10 counties and 70% in 4, carried the fairly populous Kenton and Campbell Counties along the border with Ohio, kept Holland under 60% in Oldham, Warren, and Christian Counties, as well as in Fayette and Franklin, and held him to a plurality in Boone County, thus keeping the race within single digits.
