Kentucky's congressional primaries are expected to be a snooze. The most notable one will probably be Thomas Massie in northern Kentucky, to see what his margin is over Eric Deters after an AIPAC super PAC dropped about $325K of ads against him last week.

And how will Joe Biden fare against "uncommitted?" We shall see.

Vote results are trickling in for the presidential primary. For reference, in 2012 Obama got just 57.9 % of the Democratic vote in Kentucky, with โ€œuncommitted" getting 42%.

Oh, and I'll be doing a couple of live hits on KET tonight for the primary election. Their coverage goes from 8-10, and my first hit is about 10 minutes in. You can also listen to the full broadcast on 89.3 WFPL.

Big GOP race here in Senate D-7: This is likely the early vote total, showing what's expected to be a very close race between incumbent Sen. Adrienne Southworth and challengers Aaron Reed and Ed Gallrein. #kyga24

That appears to be the early vote total in just Anderson County, above, which is Southworth's home county. Maybe notable she's at 36% in the early vote in her home county.

Gerald Neal had twice the early votes as Attica Scott in Senate D-33 Dem primary.
