Incumbent Democrat Brian Schatz won re-election to a second full term in a landslide, winning 71.2% of the vote to Republican state representative Bob McDermott's 26%. The results were a slightly lower margin of victory for Schatz compared to his previous victory in 2016.
Schatz was first appointed to the Senate in 2012 after the death of incumbent Daniel Inouye. He won a 2014 special election to finish Inouye's term, won his first full term in 2016, and ran for reelection for his second full term in 2022.[2]
