Despite a recent appearance from Walz in the commonwealth while on his campaign trail, former President Donald Trump won Kentucky in previous elections. Trump's vice presidential candidate, JD Vance, also appeared in Kentucky earlier this year.

According to The Courier Journal, Kentucky was the first state called for Trump on Election Day four years ago, winning the state by more than 25 points in both 2016 and 2020.

Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz appeared in Louisville on Oct. 23 to speak at a campaign reception on behalf of the Harris Victory fund as part of his campaign stop.

Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance appeared in Lexington in August for a Trump 47 Committee-sponsored fundraising event. Kelly Craft, event ambassador, told The Courier Journal ahead of the event and during the Kentucky State Fair Ham Breakfast that Vance is her friend and she was excited to host him.

Some Kentuckians cast their votes ahead of Election Day with early voting opportunities, including Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear.

Secretary of State Michael Adams said on X, formerly Twitter, on Oct. 23 that 130,695 Kentucky voters requested absentee ballots before the deadline. The surge of mail-in ballots could be an indicator for massive turnout in the 2024 General Election, he said, as absentee ballots tend to make up roughly 2-4% of total votes cast.

"For the love of God, vote early," Adams wrote.
