Sen. Thom Tillis (R) is retiring, leaving an open seat. Former RNC chair Michael Whatley (R) leads the Republican field; former Gov. Roy Cooper leads the Democratic side.

An open, competitive seat
Sen. Thom Tillis (R) is not seeking re-election, so 2026 is an open-seat race with no incumbent on the ballot. The seat was last decided by just 1.75 points (2020), and it remains highly competitive.
Democratic fundraising lead
Democratic candidates have together raised $27.4M to Republicans' $13.4M — a $14.1M gap, concentrated in former Gov. Roy Cooper's $26.8M.
What the markets say
Kalshi's general-election market is party-level: the Democratic side sits at 50% and the Republican side at 44% (figures are for the party, not a specific candidate).
