Franklin County is home to Frankfort, Kentucky's capital city. State capitols usually are more Democratic than their states as a whole, due to possessing both a substantial government workforce and a notable minority population, as well as large numbers of younger, college-educated voters. Denver, Colorado, Atlanta, Georgia, Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Austin, Texas are examples of this.
Nevertheless, Trump won Franklin County with a plurality both times. Frankfort is a relatively small and more conservative city, and I've noticed that the smaller a state capitol is, the more likely it is to be Republican-Carson City, Nevada, Jefferson City, Missouri, and Cheyenne, Wyoming exemplify this.
