In the [[2004 US presidential election in Florida]], the '''I-4 corridor''', a commonly used term to refer to the counties in which I-4 runs through and a site of significant population growth, was a focus of political activity within the [[swing state]]. Communities along the I-4 corridor were perceived by both major political parties as having higher proportions of [[undecided voter]]s as compared to more [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]]- or [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]]-leaning portions of the state. It played an equally key role in the [[2008 US presidential election in Florida]] but, whereas the corridor had voted heavily for [[George W. Bush]] in 2004, which helped Bush win the state, in 2008, it swung behind Democratic candidate [[Barack Obama]], helping Obama win Florida.<ref>{{cite news |publisher = [[CNN]] |url = http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/10/11/campaign.florida.reut/index.html |title = Candidates Eye Voters on Florida's I-4 |date = October 11, 2004 }}</ref>

Between 1996 and 2012, the I-4 corridor voted for the statewide winner. However, in the [[2016 United States presidential election in Florida|2016]] and [[2020 United States presidential election in Florida|2020]] elections, Republican [[Donald Trump]] carried the state without winning the region. The Republicans carried the region three times while the Democrats carried the region five times in the past eight presidential elections. Republicans [[George H. W. Bush]] and George W. Bush won more votes than other candidates in 1992, 2000, and 2004, while Democrats [[Bill Clinton]], Barack Obama, [[Hillary Clinton]], and [[Joe Biden]] captured the region's vote total in the elections of [[1996 United States presidential election|1996]], 2008, [[2012 United States presidential election|2012]], 2016, and 2020.

Trump again won the [[2024 United States presidential election in Florida]]. [[WKMG-TV]] reported that because of the size of his victory of more than 13%, Florida was no longer a swing state. Noting that Trump had won all nine central Florida counties except Orange County, the station said that "the days of the I-4 corridor being a thing [are] no more".<ref name="wkmg20241105">{{Cite AV media |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCYE2ozMOMs |title=Trump wins Florida in big way |date=2024-11-05 |publisher=WKMG News 6 ClickOrlando |access-date=2024-11-25 |via=YouTube}}</ref>
