The 2024 United States Senate elections are scheduled to be held on November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections. 33 of the 100 seats in the U.S. Senate will be contested in regular elections.[2] Senators are divided into 3 classes whose six-year terms are staggered so that a different class is elected every 2 years.[3] Class 1 senators will face election in 2024.[4]
As of May 2024, 24 senators (15 Democrats, 9 Republicans, and two independents) are seeking reelection in 2024.[citation needed] 2 Republicans (Mike Braun of Indiana and Mitt Romney of Utah), 4 Democrats (Ben Cardin of Maryland, Tom Carper of Delaware, Debbie Stabenow of Michigan, and Joe Manchin of West Virginia), and one independent (Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona) are not seeking reelection.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Laphonza Butler of California, a Democrat who was appointed to her current seat in 2023, is not seeking election in 2024.[12]
2 special Senate elections will take place concurrently with the 2024 regular Senate elections. 1 of those special elections will be held in California to fill the vacancy created by the death of long-time Senator Dianne Feinstein for the final 2 months of her unexpired term, and the other will be held in Nebraska following Ben Sasse's 2023 resignation.[13][10][14]
Elections analysts consider the map for these Senate elections to be highly unfavorable to Democrats. Democrats will be defending 23 of the 33 Class 1 seats.[15] 3 seats being defended by Democrats are in states won by Republican Donald Trump in both 2016 and 2020, while there are no seats in this class held by Republicans in states won by Democrat Joe Biden in 2020. In the previous 2 Senate election cycles that coincided with presidential elections (2016 and 2020), only one senator (Susan Collins in 2020) was elected in a state that was won by the presidential nominee of the opposite party.[16]
