'''Presidential elections'''<br />
At the national level, James City County had been a Republican-leaning county in presidential elections for decades, although as the county grew in the 2000s it began to trend Democratic and recent results suggest the county may soon become more of a [[Purple America|purple]] county than a solid [[Red states and blue states|red]] one. While Republican [[George W. Bush]] scored convincing wins in the early 2000s, the margin narrowed considerably for Democrat [[Barack Obama]]'s two elections, and in [[United States presidential election in Virginia, 2016|2016]] Republican [[Donald Trump]] won the county with only a narrow plurality of 49.4% to Democrat [[Hillary Clinton]]'s 44.3%, and in 2018, Democratic US Senator [[Tim Kaine]] won the county outright in his 16-point statewide win. In 2020 Democrat [[Joe Biden]] won with 51.71% to Republican [[Donald Trump]]'s 46.85%. The county had not voted Democratic at the presidential level since delivering a plurality win to [[Hubert Humphrey]] in the [[United States presidential election in Virginia, 1968|1968 election]]. In 2024, the county swung even more Democratic in support of [[Kamala Harris]], despite her significantly inferior nationwide performance relative to Biden's in 2020.<ref>https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/</ref>
