View source for Maury County, Tennessee

==Politics==
A former [[Solid South]] county in historically-[[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] [[Middle Tennessee]], Maury County voted Democratic at the presidential level for the bulk of the 20th century, making exceptions for [[segregationist]] [[George Wallace]] in [[1968 United States presidential election in Tennessee|1968]], the 49-state [[Republican Party (United States)|GOP]] landslides of [[1972 United States presidential election in Tennessee|1972]] ([[Richard Nixon]]) and [[1984 United States presidential election in Tennessee|1984]] ([[Ronald Reagan]]), and Republican [[George H. W. Bush]] in [[1988 United States presidential election in Tennessee|1988]]. However, like the vast majority of counties in Tennessee, Maury County is today a Republican stronghold, with the last Democratic presidential candidate to win the county being [[Bill Clinton]] of neighboring state [[Arkansas]] in [[1996 United States presidential election in Tennessee|1996]] and the last to be competitive there being Tennessean [[Al Gore]] (who lost the county by just over 3%) [[2000 United States presidential election in Tennessee|four years later]]. [[Donald Trump]]'s 71.7% vote share and 44.6% margin of victory in [[2024 United States presidential election in Tennessee|2024]] constitute the best county-wide performance for a Republican presidential candidate in Maury's history.
