Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) faces a primary challenge but is expected to cruise to victory. The most competitive contest in Kentucky is for retiring Democratic Rep. John Yarmuth’s Louisville-based seat, where two liberal state legislators are vying to replace him in a district left largely intact during redistricting.

The Post estimated the lean of 2022 congressional districts using 2020 presidential results by precinct from Decision Desk HQ and estimates where actual votes at the precinct level were unavailable. Districts classified as ‘Strong Biden’ and ‘Strong Trump’ show where a candidate is estimated to have won by 15 percentage points or more. ‘Lean Biden’ and ‘Lean Trump’ districts had estimated vote margins between five and 15 points. ‘Close’ districts show an estimated margin within five points.
