==Politics== Liz Skalka of the ''[[HuffPost|Huffpost]]'' described Teton as a "liberal county" in August 2022.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Skalka |first=Liz |date=August 16, 2022 |title=Wyoming Democrats Back Liz Cheney In Her Home County |url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/liz-cheney-wyoming_n_62fc1510e4b071ea958ac416 |access-date=October 27, 2022 |website=[[HuffPost]] |language=en |quote=Teton County, home to Jackson, a new playground for the ultra-rich set against a breathtaking natural landscape, is unlike anywhere else in this heavy mining and agricultural state. It’s Wyoming’s bluest county, meaning voters here are more likely to be Democrats who voted for Cheney, an uncommon phenomenon that Cheney’s campaign encouraged.}}</ref> Previously a staunchly [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] county, which produced [[governor of Wyoming|Governor]] and [[U.S. Senator]] [[Clifford Hansen]], a mass immigration of wealthy liberals from the West Coast has made Teton County the most [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] county in Wyoming, which is one of the most Republican states in the nation. The only Republican presidential candidate since [[1992 United States presidential election|1992]] to win Teton County was [[George W. Bush]] in [[2000 United States presidential election in Wyoming|2000]] who had county resident [[Dick Cheney]] on the ticket. In the [[2008 United States presidential election|2008 election]], [[Barack Obama]] carried Teton County by a 23.6 percentage point margin over [[John McCain]], with McCain winning statewide by a 32.2 percentage point margin over Obama, his widest margin in any state. [[Albany County, Wyoming|Albany County]], which includes the [[University of Wyoming]] at [[Laramie, Wyoming|Laramie]], was the only other county in the state to have backed Obama. In [[United States presidential election in Wyoming, 2004|2004]], Teton was the only Wyoming county won by [[John F. Kerry]] over George W. Bush.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/statesub.php?year=2004&fips=56039&f=1&off=0&elect=0|title=Atlas of US Presidential Elections|first=Dave|last=Leip|work=uselectionatlas.org|access-date=December 19, 2016}}</ref> In the 2016 election, [[Hillary Clinton]] beat [[Donald Trump]] by 57.9%–31.1%.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.cnn.com/election/results/states/wyoming#president|title=2016 election results: Wyoming|website=www.cnn.com|access-date=November 26, 2016}}</ref> In 2020, [[Joe Biden]] beat [[Donald Trump]] by 37.5%, the largest margin for a Democrat ever in the county.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Walkey |first=Will |date=November 6, 2020 |title=As Wyoming Goes Further Right, Teton County Continues Pushing Left |url=https://891khol.org/as-wyoming-goes-further-right-teton-county-continues-pushing-left/ |access-date=October 26, 2022 |website=[[KHOL]]}}</ref> The county has, however, voted at times for Republican candidates for the governorship and United States Senate.
