Rand Paul wins reelection in Kentucky
Sen. Rand Paul is projected to win reelection to his Kentucky seat.
{mosads}After all polls closed at 7 p.m., news outlets immediately called it for Paul, who handily defeated Lexington Mayor Jim Gray (D).
Paul unsuccessfully ran for president in the Republican primary, and after dropping out in early February jumped back into the race to keep his Senate seat.
He led Gray comfortably in the polls and spent most of his race bashing Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
GOP standard-bearer Donald Trump was also projected to take Kentucky.
