Hugging the Northern Neck peninsula between the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers, Westmoreland has shifted steadily toward Republican margins over the past two decades as its small-town, agricultural character has grown more politically homogeneous.

The Democratic margin in Westmoreland County has rarely exceeded sixty points in modern history; the Republican margin has rarely exceeded forty-one points. 2024 delivered the county to the Republican candidate by fourteen points.

Westmoreland County's demographics resemble the country more than they resemble most counties.
