Editing Brewster County, Texas (section)

==Politics==
Brewster County is Republican leaning in presidential elections and has fairly consistently remained so despite its high Hispanic population and relatively large state university, though not as strongly Republican as other rural counties in the Trans-Pecos region or West Texas. The last non-Republican candidate (as of 2024) to win the county was Barack Obama in 2008. However, unlike the rest of southern Texas, the county swung towards [[Joe Biden]] in the 2020 election, albeit by less than one percent with both candidates gaining in vote percentage. The county, along with the rest of South Texas, swung back towards Republicans in 2024, giving candidate [[Donald Trump]] his best result in the county, as well as the best margin for Republicans since 1984.
