Trump-backed Rep. Andy Barr (R-Ky.) won the GOP battle to replace retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). On the Democratic side, former state representative Charles Booker beat Amy McGrath, a retired Marine fighter pilot, reversing the outcome from 2020.

Neither candidate secured enough votes to avoid a June 16 GOP runoff, but Jones topped Jackson by 6 points — and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffersperger (R), who defied Trump after the 2020 election, was knocked out.
