Partisan background

In the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Republican Donald Trump won the most votes in 42 of North Dakota's state senate districts and Democratic—NPL nominee Kamala Harris won 5.[4] Out of the 24 odd-numbered districts up for election in 2026, Trump won the most votes in twenty-one, and Harris won the most votes in three. The North Dakota Secretary of State did not specify individual statewide election results for subdistricts 4A and 4B, which returned a Democratic–NPLer and a Republican in 2022, respectively. Outside of District 4, two Democratic–NPLers represent a district Trump won in 2024: Alisa Mitskog of District 25 (Trump +37.65%) and Zac Ista of District 43 (Trump +6.24%).
