The incumbent was Republican French Hill, who was re-elected with 55.4% of the vote in 2020.[1] The 2nd district has been the most competitive district in recent years, but redistricting — including dividing Little Rock — makes the district less competitive going forward. The 2nd district still comprises the central part of Arkansas.

The incumbent was Republican Bruce Westerman, who was re-elected with 69.7% of the vote in 2020.[1] The new 4th district still comprises the majority of the Southern part of the state, and it is now slightly more competitive. Democratic nominee John White attracted attention when, unusually for a member of his party, he denied the legitimacy of President Joe Biden and the 2020 United States presidential election during a debate.[29] White also claimed that "the American people have not legitimately elected a president since Kennedy." After the debate, the Arkansas Democratic Party released a statement denouncing White and his claims of election fraud.[30]
