It would appear that former President Donald Trump is set to return to the White House. The Associated Press officially declared Trump the winner in the presidential race early Wednesday morning after he cleared the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. Trump also won the state of Kentucky and Meade County. In Meade County specifically, Trump received 10,630 votes in comparison to Kamala Harris' 3,279 votes.
