North Carolina's has simply switched over to Class 2 in 2002 with
Elizabeth Dole (2003-2009) -defeated in a landslide for re-election
Kay Hagan (2009--2015) -defeated for re-election when everything favored her
And Tillis ain't popular.
California Class 2 was one from 1959-1993
William Knowland (1945-1959) -resigns for an ill-fated bid for Governor
Clair Engle (1959-1964) -dies in office, barely alive to give cloture to the CRA of 1964
Pierre Salinger (1964-1965) -appointed placeholder, lost election as the only Democratic loss that year to a mere actor
George Murphy (1965-1971) - lost re-election
John Tunney (1971-1977) - lost re-election
S.I. Hiyakawa (1977-1983) - declined renomination
Pete Wilson (1983-1991) - gave it up to be Governor practically after re-election, but...
John Seymour (1991-1992) - appointed placeholder, but lost the special election
Feinstein broke the curse.
