Republican State House Speaker Thom Tillis defeated incumbent Senator Kay Hagan in one of the most-watched and most expensive races in the country. Hagan's defeat was one of several nationwide that gave Senate control to the GOP.

At the state level, the Republican party maintained control of both houses of the legislature.

Host Frank Stasio talks with a panel of reporters and analysts about the outcomes and the impact: political junkie ; Catawba College political science professor ; Davidson College political science professor ; NC NAACP President ; Carolina Public Press Capitol Bureau Chief ; and 瓜神app reporters Jessica Jones, Dave Dewitt, Reema Khrais and Jorge Valencia.
