Kentucky’s other U.S. Senator, Republican Rand Paul, called on the GOP to unite behind McConnell:
Congratulations to my colleague Mitch McConnell on tonight's victory! KY GOP must now unite for a win in November. Onwards to victory!

Some people weren’t happy with Paul in the least for supporting a sixth Senate term for McConnell:
Done with @SenRandPaul – No true Libertarian could endorse McConnell. #phony

@caseykim12 @SeanRhoades89 @SenRandPaul What's the definition of insanity?? Something about over and over again right? Disappointed in Paul

@SenRandPaul Rand, you are letting us down. Do you really think Mitch believes in the Constitution? #ditchmich

@SenRandPaul Thanks… You're helping me to narrow down my 2016 Presidential pick. Striking Rand Paul off the list.

McConnell will face Democrat Alison Grimes, who also won a primary tonight, in the November U.S. Senate election.
