Misleading.

The city of Abbeville is 50% black. She is the mayor of the city. Abbeville County is less than 24% black.

In 2024, Trump won Abbeville County. No exit polling was conducted to determine how well either candidate performed in the city.

This was my impression when I saw there was an Abbeville County, but precinct data shows that the four precincts that include the city also went for Trump by a pretty significant margin. So the precincts that include at least part of the city voted for Trump.

With that being said, the precinct labeled "Abbeville No. 2" covers more of the residential part of Abbeville (the city) than any other precinct, and it voted 554 for Harris and 341 for Trump. So, yeah, the city itself might have voted for Harris. Too close to call based on the available data.
