LEXINGTON, Ky. — Rand Paul easily secured a third term in the U.S. Senate on Tuesday night, quashing Democratic challenger Charles Booker, who was underfunded and hamstrung by national headwinds facing his party.
The Associated Press called the race at 7:14 p.m. EST.
“Congratulations to Senator Rand Paul on his re-election victory tonight in Kentucky. As one of our leading advocates for liberty, Kentucky families know Rand will fight for them in Washington I look forward to continuing to serve alongside Rand in the Senate,” said Sen. Rick Scott, chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee in a statement.
