The 2022 United States Senate election in North Carolina was held on November 8, 2022, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of North Carolina. Primary elections were scheduled for March 8, 2022,[1] but were delayed by the North Carolina Supreme Court and rescheduled for May 17.
Incumbent three-term Republican U.S. senator Richard Burr announced in 2016 that he would not seek reelection in 2022.[2] Former chief justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court Cheri Beasley[3] and U.S. Representative Ted Budd won the Democratic and Republican primaries, respectively.[4][5][6][7] The race was considered competitive, with Budd narrowly leading in polls.[8][9] Budd ultimately won with 50.5% of the vote to Beasley's 47.3%—a margin of 3.2%.[10]
Despite Budd's win in the election, it marked the Class III seat's worst performance by a Republican since 1998.
