The 1954 United States Senate elections was a midterm election in the first term of Dwight D. Eisenhower's presidency.

Harvey Cloyd Philpott was an American businessman and politician who served as the 24th Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina in 1961. Philpott grew up in Lexington, North Carolina. Following the completion of his education, he rose to become president and chairman of the board of the United Furniture Corporation. He held several local political offices before being elected to a seat in the North Carolina House of Representatives in 1953 as a Democrat. During his tenure he served on the Pearsall Committee and played a key role in the passage of a state minimum wage law. He left the House in 1959 and in 1960 was elected Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina. In his short time in the latter office, Philpott was a key ally in the legislature for Governor Terry Sanford. Sanford originally wished that Philpott would succeed him as governor, but this was cut short by Philpott's sudden death eight months into his term.
