Kentucky voted for the National Republican candidate, Henry Clay, over the Democratic Party candidate, Andrew Jackson. Clay won Kentucky by a margin of 8.98%. His victory was likely influenced by the home state advantage he received from his native state. Kentucky and South Carolina were the only 2 states Jackson lost in 1832 that he had won in the previous cycle.
