Trey Grayson, the Kentucky Secretary of State, has officially conceded the Republican primary race for Senator, CNN reports.

“We must unite behind Dr. Paul,” Grayson said, adding, “We have more things that unite us.”

Grayson was the establishment Republican in the race — winning endorsements from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) and the Chamber of Commerce — while Rand Paul has been the tea party favorite. Polls in recent weeks showed Paul taking a commanding lead of the race.
