Incumbent Republican Richard Hudson faces Democratic nominee Richard Ojeda in North Carolina’s 9th congressional district ahead of the November 2026 general election. The seat carries an established Republican lean, reflected in Donald Trump’s 16-point margin there in the prior cycle and an R+8 partisan voting index. Hudson advanced unopposed through the March Republican primary while Ojeda secured the Democratic nomination after defeating multiple challengers. Recent redistricting preserved the district’s core partisan composition across counties including Alamance, Moore, and Randolph. Cook Political Report rates the race Solid Republican, consistent with trader consensus that assigns the Republican Party an 81.5% implied probability. No late-cycle developments have altered the structural advantages of incumbency and voter base in the district.
