Tourism anchors Sevier County's economy — Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge draw tens of millions of visitors annually — yet its resident electorate has delivered Republican presidential margins exceeding 60 points in recent cycles.
The Republican margin in Sevier County reached its widest at eighty-seven points in 1920. The margin in 2024 was sixty-one points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.
