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.

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.[20] 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.[21]
