John Hoeven Republican John Hoeven Republican The 2022 United States Senate election in North Dakota was held on November 8, 2022, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of North Dakota.
He ran for a re-election to a third term in office against Democratic-NPL nominee Katrina Christiansen.
His performance however was far less impressive than in both of his prior races and even substantially lower than what most polling had indicated, and was the worst a winning Republican had made in the Class 3 seat since 1974.
This underperformance was in part attributed to Becker's candidacy as an Independent, who took 18.5% of the vote.
Additionally, Christiansen's 25% vote share was the highest of any Democratic–NPL candidate for the Class 3 Senate seat since Dorgan's landslide 2004 win.
