DeWitt voted R+67.0 in 2024, capping a 19.2-point rightward drift since 2008 that ran through every cycle except a 1.2-point Democratic tick in 2016→2020. The county now sits 65.6 points to the right of the United States overall (R+1.4) and well past Texas's R+13.7, a gap that has widened in each of the last two cycles. With only 7,825 votes cast at 28.0% turnout in a 20,000-person county, the divergence from both parent geographies points to a precinct-level pattern rather than a single-cycle break.
