Seminole County is part of the strongly Republican belt of central and southwest Florida that was the first portion of the state to move politically distance itself from the "Solid South": Until Joe Biden carried the county in 2020, the last Democratic Party candidate to win the county in a presidential election had been Harry Truman in 1948. However, Seminole County is now considered to be a slightly Republican-leaning swing area. The entire county is currently represented by Democratic congresswoman Stephanie Murphy.
