President Donald Trump wins Kentucky and secured its eight electoral votes as the first state declared a win for the incumbent Tuesday night.

The republican-leaning state was expected to go to Trump. Trump won the state by 30 percentage points in 2016 against Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton.

Republican Senator Mitch McConnell was re-elected to the Senate for a seventh term. The Senate majority leader was under fierce attack by Amy McGrath, who spent 100 million dollars in attempt to win.

The last Democrat to win the state of Kentucky was former President Bill Clinton in 1996.

Fox News has also declared a Trump victory in Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, South Carolina, and West Virginia. Joe Biden is leading with 85 Electoral votes while Trump has 55.

Oklahoma’s Republican Governor Kevin Stitt signed a bill into law on Wednesday which bans virtually all abortions “from the moment of fertilization.”

“I promised Oklahomans that as governor I would sign every piece of pro-life legislation that came across my desk and I am proud to keep that promise today. From the moment life begins at conception is when we have a responsibility as human beings to do everything we can to protect that baby’s life and the life of the mother,” Stitt said in a statement. “That is what I believe and that is what the majority of Oklahomans believe.”

The state legislature first approved the bill, which goes into effect immediately, last week. It bans abortions from the moment of fertilization, except for in cases where rape or incest occurred, or where the mother’s life is in danger.

The law also allows for private citizens to sue doctors or those who participate in “producing an abortion for up to $10,000, mimicking the enforcement mechanism in Texas’s fetal heartbeat law” reports National Review.

Under the new law it is a felony offense to perform an abortion, “which will take effect in August unless a court challenge blocks it.”
