The 2008 United States Senate election in North Carolina was held on Tuesday, November 4, 2008. The Senate election coincided with the presidential, U.S. House elections, gubernatorial, Council of State, and statewide judicial elections. Incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Elizabeth Dole ran for re-election to a second term, but was defeated by Kay Hagan.[1]
The November general election was the first time in North Carolina history, and only the eighth time in U.S. history, that the two major-party candidates for a U.S. Senate seat were both women. In addition, Hagan became the only Democrat to win a North Carolina U.S. Senate race since 1998, and the first woman to defeat an incumbent woman in a U.S. Senate election.
As of 2024, this is the last time that a Democratic candidate won a U.S. Senate race in the state of North Carolina.
