From 1956 to 2004, it became a swing county, but became increasingly Democratic towards the end of that stretch. Since 2008, it has become solidly Democratic. In each presidential election from 2008 on, Democratic candidates have won at least 60% of the county's vote while no Republican candidate has cracked 40%. In 2020, Donald Trump achieved the lowest Republican vote share at a presidential election in the city since 1948. </p> <table class="wikitable sortable mw-collapsible floatright sticky-header-multi" style="font-size: 95%;"> <caption>United States presidential election results for Newport News, Virginia<sup id="cite_ref-90" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-90"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>90<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </caption> <tbody><tr> <th scope="col" rowspan="2">Year </th> <th scope="col" colspan="2"><a href="/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States)" title="Republican Party (United States)">Republican</a> </th> <th scope="col" colspan="2"><a href="/wiki/Democratic_Party_(United_States)" title="Democratic Party (United States)">Democratic</a> </th> <th scope="col" colspan="2"><a href="/wiki/Third_party_(U.S._politics)" title="Third party (U.S. politics)">Third party(ies)</a> </th></tr> <tr> <th>No. </th> <th scope="col">%</th> <th scope="col">No. </th> <th scope="col">%</th> <th scope="col">No. </th> <th scope="col">% </th></tr> <tr> <td style="color:black;background-color:#B0CEFF"><b><a href="/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election_in_Virginia" title="2024 United States presidential election in Virginia">2024</a></b> </td> <td style="background-color:#FFB6B6">26,385 </td> <td style="background-color:#FFB6B6">34.76% </td> <td style="color:black;background-color:#B0CEFF">48,169 </td> <td style="color:black;background-color:#B0CEFF"><b>63.46%</b> </td> <td style="text-align:center;
