Race coverage

The cycle's most likely flip — the open seat left by Thom Tillis's retirement. Below: policy-coded articles from the North Carolina press that name a candidate in this race, since collection began in May 2026. A name anywhere in the text counts, so an article need not be about the race.

Counted: news reports and opinion columns. Not counted, though they name a candidate: letters to the editor, releases from parties, campaigns and government offices, multi-story digests, blog posts, and pages that are not articles (here: 2 letters to the editor, 12 pages that are not articles).
