Senate (Open-Tillis, R), NC-01 Hold (Don Davis, D)
Former North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper is the Democrats’ best chance to flip a Senate Seat in 2026, according to the Cook Report. Having nearly 40 years in public office, Cooper has never lost an election. However, the race is rated a Tossup. His main Republican opponent is political insider Michael Whatley, who served one year as chair of the Republican National Committee.
North Carolina politics is notoriously unpredictable. The 2026 Senate election is likely to be among the most competitive and the most expensive races.
In NC-01, Democratic incumbent Don Davis is battling for re-election in a Tossup race. Davis has two Republican opponents, but one that has deep pockets, having contributed $2 million of his own money to his own campaign.
