Sheridan County is overwhelmingly Republican. Since [[Michael Dukakis]] in the heavily [[1988–89 North American drought|drought]]-influenced 1988 election won almost 39 percent of the county's vote, no Democratic presidential candidate has topped 22 percent, and in 2016 [[Hillary Clinton]]’s share plummeted into single digits. This county was Republican presidential candidate [[Donald Trump]]'s second strongest in the state in [[2024 United States presidential election|2024]], after [[Wallace County, Kansas|Wallace County]], which gave Trump over 90% of the vote.<ref>https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/election/article295391594.html</ref>
