*Incumbent.

Excludes the following candidates running unopposed: Rep. Joe Wilson (SC-02), Rep. Jeff Duncan (SC-03) and Rep. Ralph Norman (SC-05), who have denied the legitimacy of the 2020 election, as well as Edwin Thelander (ME-01), Paul LePage (ME Gov.) and Sen. Tim Scott (SC Sen.), who have raised doubts.

Candidates marked as having “denied legitimacy” of the 2020 election either explicitly said Donald Trump’s loss or the 2020 election itself was illegitimate or, if an elected official, took legal measures to try and overturn the election. Candidates marked as “raised doubts” have questioned the fairness of the 2020 election or made references to “election integrity” but have not explicitly said the election or Trump’s loss was illegitimate.
