Republicans also won all statewide judicial elections and increased seats in the Republican-controlled NC General Assembly.

North Carolina elected Republican Ted He Budd to the vacant seat in the U.S. Senate despite the poor performance of many Republicans running for Senate in 2022. Republicans regained control of the state Supreme Court, the state Senate won enough seats for a Republican majority, and the state Senate was within one seat.
