In the 2024 House race for NC-13, Brad Knott (R) defeated Frank Pierce (D) 58.6% to 41.4%. Brad Knott received 243,655 votes compared to 171,835 for Frank Pierce, a comfortable 17.3-point margin indicating a moderately safe district.

This race flipped the seat from Democrat to Republican. Wiley Nickel (D) held the seat previously but either retired or lost in a primary. Party flips at the seat level are relatively rare and often signal shifting district dynamics. The 2024 presidential election drove higher voter turnout, which can help or hurt down-ballot candidates depending on the top of the ticket.
