Duplin County's economy traces deep roots in hog farming and tobacco, and its predominantly rural, majority-minority population has nonetheless delivered double-digit Republican presidential margins consistently since 2008, with 2024's gap reaching nearly 29 points.

The shift began with civil rights. 2004 marked the realignment in Duplin County, by a sixteen points margin. The Republican margin reached its widest at forty-two points in 1972. The 2024 margin was twenty-nine points.

The political shift has tracked, in Duplin County, the political shift of the South more broadly. A 54% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $55,148, and a 21% poverty rate describe the demographic context. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Jones County and Montgomery County.
