In [[2008 United States presidential election in Pennsylvania|2008]], the county was carried by Republican [[John McCain]]'s 63% to Democrat [[Barack Obama]]'s 35%. Since 2008, Butler County has continually given Republican nominees support in the mid-60s, with both [[Mitt Romney]] and [[Donald Trump]] receiving around 66% of the vote in [[2012 United States presidential election in Pennsylvania|2012]], [[2016 United States presidential election in Pennsylvania|2016]], [[2020 United States presidential election in Pennsylvania|2020]], and [[2024 United States presidential election in Pennsylvania|2024]].
