24. I don't think so.

Kentucky is full of right-wing evangelicals who are part of Trump’s cult. The idea of finally being able to overturn Roe v. Wade is enough to make Kentucky vote for McConnell again. They also like the fact that he’s packing the federal courts with rabid, right-wing anti-immigrant judges who support white privilege and curtailing civil rights. Some have even refused to answer questions about whether Brown v. Board of Education was correctly decided and have supported segregation in their writings. Some have no writings because they’ve never been judges or prosecuted cases because they have no experience!

Like many red states, the blue areas in Kentucky are in the major cities, but there may not be enough of them to overcome the rural red areas.
