The county supported [[Barack Obama]], a Chicago resident, in 2008 and 2012 (albeit narrowly in 2012). Obama was the first Democratic presidential nominee to win the county since [[Franklin Pierce]] in [[1852 United States presidential election|1852]]. The only time prior to 2008 that a Republican had failed to win the county was in 1912, when the GOP was mortally divided and former president and [[Progressive Party (United States, 1912)|Progressive Party]] nominee [[Theodore Roosevelt]] won over half the county's vote.

DuPage County has historically been a fiscally and socially conservative Republican stronghold, though in recent years has become more politically liberal especially on issues of race and immigration.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://abc7chicago.com/blm-black-lives-matter-chicago-what-is-movement/6253776/|title=White mothers in Wheaton come together to design Black Lives Matter signs|date=June 18, 2020|access-date=June 28, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20180115/roskam-on-immigration-we-want-those-very-people-among-us|title=Roskam on immigration: 'We want those very people among us'|date=January 15, 2018|access-date=June 28, 2020}}</ref> DuPage County has been shifting more Democratic, with [[Joe Biden]] winning nearly 58% of the vote in 2020. DuPage County has not voted for a Republican candidate for president since 2004. [[Donald Trump]] was the first Republican nominee for president since 1912 to get less than 40% of the DuPage County vote, both in the 2016 and 2020 general elections. Many DuPage County communities which normally vote Republican, including but not limited to [[Naperville, Illinois|Naperville]], [[Lisle, Illinois|Lisle]], [[Wheaton, Illinois|Wheaton]], [[Glen Ellyn, Illinois|Glen Ellyn]], [[Carol Stream, Illinois|Carol Stream]], [[Downers Grove, Illinois|Downers Grove]], and [[Elmhurst, Illinois|Elmhurst]] did not support Donald Trump in 2016.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dailyherald.com/news/20161230/mapping-the-suburban-vote-for-trump-clinton|title=Mapping the suburban vote for Trump, Clinton|date=December 30, 2016|access-date=April 12, 2020}}</ref> In December 2019, shortly after the U.S. House of Representatives [[First impeachment of Donald Trump|voted to impeach Donald Trump]], [[Carol Stream, Illinois|Carol Stream]]-based ''[[Christianity Today]]'' published a controversial editorial calling for the removal of Trump from office, citing the need to hold him to the same standards to which they held [[Bill Clinton]] in the 1990s (who was the last Democratic nominee for president to get less than 40% of the DuPage County vote).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2019/december-web-only/trump-should-be-removed-from-office.html|title=Trump Should Be Removed from Office|date=December 19, 2019 |access-date=April 12, 2020}}</ref>
