Race background[edit]

Incumbent Kay Hagan was a Democratic senator in a red state, making her seat one of the most vulnerable in 2014. The unpopularity of President Obama's healthcare mandate, combined with its poor implementation thus far, was a major issue that Hagan could not overcome in order to win re-election.
