Pasco County was a swing county for much of the 20th Century. It has supported Republicans in every election since 2004 when it supported [[George W. Bush]] before swinging leftward in the 2008 election (though Democrat [[Barack Obama]] lost the county, it was only by less than 4 points). Since then, the county has trended more Republican in every election.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Election Results |url=https://www.pascovotes.gov/elections/election-results |access-date=May 11, 2025 |website=Pasco Votes}}</ref> With most recently, [[Donald Trump]] in 2024 breaking 61.87% of the vote for the first time since 1984.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Summary Results - Election Night Reporting |url=https://enr.electionsfl.org/PAS/3717/Summary/ |access-date=2025-05-11 |website=enr.electionsfl.org}}</ref>
