Darlington County's rural Pee Dee economy, long anchored by tobacco and textile industries, has shifted its presidential margins rightward by double digits over two decades, even as its population holds a substantial Black voting-age share above 40%.

The Democratic margin in Darlington County has rarely exceeded 100 points in modern history; the Republican margin has rarely exceeded forty-five points. 2024 delivered the county to the Republican candidate by thirteen points.
