In the state of North Carolina, the Democratic Party has gained a seat in the US Senate following the election, according to estimates. Their candidate, Roy Cooper, secured victory, as reported by the news agency AP based on voter surveys and vote counts. This marks a significant win for the Democrats, as they now hold one of the 100 total Senate seats.
The Republicans have historically held a majority in the chamber. The election took place across 35 Senate seats. Former Governor Cooper emerged victorious over Michael Whatley, the former Republican chairman. During his campaign, Cooper addressed citizens' concerns about rising living costs and aimed to leverage his long-standing experience and accomplishments at the state level.
The Republican incumbent, Thom Tillis, did not seek re-election. Tillis gained notoriety as a vocal critic of President Trump in recent times, having previously claimed that his victory in the 2020 presidential election was stolen due to widespread fraud, a claim widely debunked. Whatley, in contrast, is known as a close associate of Trump and supported him, including in the oft-refuted claim of election fraud leading to his alleged victory in the 2020 presidential race.
