Republicans won control of the U.S. Senate with victories in Montana, Ohio and West Virginia on Wednesday, ensuring Donald Trump’s party will control at least one chamber of Congress next year. As of Friday Nov. 8, the Republicans control 53 seats and the Democrats 45 with Arizona and Nevada still too close to call although most likely the Democrats will retain control of these two Senate seats.

Republicans won control of the U.S. Senate with victories in Montana, Ohio and West Virginia on Wednesday, ensuring Donald Trump’s party will control at least one chamber of Congress next year.
The results also ensured Republicans in the Senate would be able to help Trump, who secured a comeback presidential election victory over Democrat Kamala Harris, appoint conservative judges and other government personnel.
Republican Tim Sheehy unseated Democratic U.S. Senator Jon Tester in Montana and Republican West Virginia Governor Jim Justice won an open Senate seat in the state shortly after polls closed, taking over the seat previously held by Joe Manchin, a Democrat-turned-independent.
In Ohio, Republican Bernie Moreno was projected to defeat third-term incumbent Democrat Sherrod Brown.

Republicans expanded their majority in the Senate, but control of the U.S. House is still in question as crucial races remain too close to call. Lisa Desjardins breaks down the numbers.
My overall view on the race for the Senate majority has changed slightly since the last time I did this: I am now more bullish on Republican chances of taking the majority — thanks in large part to the continued struggles of Democratic Sen. Jon Tester in Montana.
While Democrats continue to insist they have real opportunities for pickups in Florida and Texas, I am still in wait-and-see mode on both races. To play seriously in either race is probably a $20-$30 million commitment by national Democrats — and I haven’t seen any indication just yet that they will make that big a bet.
The Decision Desk HQ Senate model agrees with my sense of the state of play. They give Republicans a 70% chance of winning the majority in the fall. Here are the model odds for the most competitive races:
Sen. Sherrod Brown doesn’t plan to campaign with Vice President Kamala Harris.
He plans to skip the Democratic National Convention. And the Democratic senator isn’t going to defend Harris’ record — or offer praise to President Joe Biden or to Harris over their handling of the U.S.-Mexico border.
Instead, Brown — now embroiled in a high-stakes reelection battle central to the fight for the next Senate majority — is making this calculation: finding a way to disqualify his opponent, Bernie Moreno, in the eyes of GOP-leaning voters and independents. And it starts with attacking Moreno’s character, past business practices and position on abortion — all as he tries to avoid being tied to the top of his ticket.
“It’s not left or right. It’s not who you vote for, for president,” Brown told CNN at a textile company just outside of Cleveland. “It’s who stands up for people in the state.”
PBS NewsHour, – July 28, 2024 (07:33)
Just 100 days out from Election Day, the U.S. political landscape is drastically different than it was a little more than a week ago. The effects of the shakeup on the Democratic presidential ticket are being felt in the battle for the House and Senate and the fight over big issues on the ballot in many states. Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report with Amy Walter joins John Yang to discuss.
Democrats faced a challenging path to holding their Senate majority even before President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance and the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump – and they still do. But this year’s Democratic candidates, many of them well-known incumbents, have so far been able to create some separation from the top of the ticket. The question going forward, regardless of what Biden does, is whether they can sustain it.
Nine of the top 10 seats on CNN’s latest ranking of the Senate seats most likely to flip are held by Democrats (or independents who caucus with them). And assuming Republicans flip West Virginia, where Sen. Joe Manchin is retiring, the GOP just needs to win the White House or pick up one more Senate seat to win the majority.
That’s a tough landscape for Democrats – especially when they’re defending seats in states that either twice voted comfortably for Trump (Montana and Ohio) or are presidential battlegrounds, and when Biden is so far defying intraparty warnings that his candidacy could cause a GOP “landslide.” Montana Sen. Jon Tester and Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown – the two most vulnerable incumbents running for reelection – said this week that Biden should exit the race.
The stakes for Democrats in their extraordinary public schism over whether President Joe Biden should withdraw from the 2024 presidential race extend far beyond the White House. A decisive loss at the top of the ticket could cost Democrats control of the US Senate for the remainder of this decade and cement Republican dominance of the Supreme Court for a generation.
So far, Democratic anxiety about the presidential race’s impact on the Senate has been muted because public polling has almost invariably shown their candidates still leading in the key states where Biden has fallen behind former President Donald Trump. But recent history raises deep questions about whether Democratic Senate candidates can continue to levitate as far above the presidential ticket as polls now show.
About
Overview
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. Senators are divided into three classes whose six-year terms are staggered so that a different class is elected every two years. Class 1 senators will face election in 2024.
As of July 2024, 26 senators (15 Democrats, nine Republicans, and two independents) are seeking reelection in 2024. Two Republicans (Mike Braun of Indiana and Mitt Romney of Utah), three Democrats (Ben Cardin of Maryland, Tom Carper of Delaware, and Debbie Stabenow of Michigan), and two independents (Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Joe Manchin of West Virginia) are not seeking reelection. Laphonza Butler of California, a Democrat who was appointed to her current seat in 2023, is not seeking election in 2024.
Two special Senate elections will take place concurrently with the 2024 regular Senate elections: one in California, to fill the final two months of Senator Dianne Feinstein’s term following her death in September of 2023, and one in Nebraska, to fill the remaining two years of Ben Sasse’s term following his resignation in January of 2023.
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. Three 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 two 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 simultaneously won by the presidential nominee of the opposite party.

The 2024 United States Senate elections were held on November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections. Regularly scheduled elections were held for 33 out of the 100 seats in the U.S. Senate, plus one seat in a special election.[4][5] Senators are divided into 3 classes whose 6-year terms are staggered so that a different class is elected every 2 years.[6] Class 1 senators faced election in 2024.[7] Republicans flipped three Democratic-held seats, regaining a Senate majority for the first time since 2021.
There were 26 senators (15 Democrats, 9 Republicans, and 2 independents) seeking re-election in 2024.[8] There were also 2 Republicans (Mike Braun of Indiana and Mitt Romney of Utah), 3 Democrats (Ben Cardin of Maryland, Tom Carper of Delaware, Debbie Stabenow of Michigan), and 2 independents (Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Joe Manchin of West Virginia) not seeking re-election.[9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Laphonza Butler of California and George Helmy of New Jersey, Democrats who were appointed to their current seats in 2023 and 2024, respectively, were not seeking election in 2024.[16][17]
Concurrent with the 2024 regular Senate elections, 2 special Senate elections took place: one in California, to fill the final two months of Dianne Feinstein‘s term following her death in September 2023; and one in Nebraska, to fill the remaining two years of Ben Sasse‘s term following his resignation in January 2023.[18][14][19] Republicans won control of the US Senate with 53 seats, flipping seats in Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Montana, while all Republican incumbents won re-election. This is the first time since 1980 that Republicans flipped control of the Senate, or any chamber of Congress in a presidential year, as well as the first time Republicans flipped Senate seats in a presidential year since 2004.
This election had the highest number of senators elected in a state that was simultaneously won by the presidential nominee of the opposite party since 2012: Democrats Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, Ruben Gallego of Arizona, Jacky Rosen of Nevada, and Elissa Slotkin of Michigan were elected in states carried by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, although the final results were significantly closer in the Republicans’ favor than polling suggested.[20][21][22][23] This is also the first time since 2012 that Democrats won a Senate seat (both in open seats and as incumbents) in a state they did not carry in the concurrent presidential election. With Republicans flipping West Virginia, this is the first time since 2014 that Republicans flipped any open Democratic-held seat. Republicans successfully defended all their own seats for the first time since 2014.
Partisan composition
All 33 Class 1 Senate seats, and one Class 2 seat, were up for election in 2024; where Class 1 currently consists of 20 Democrats, 4 independents who caucus with the Senate Democrats,[e] and 10 Republicans.
Burgess Everett of Politico considered the map for these Senate elections to be highly unfavorable to Democrats. Democrats were to defend 23 of the 33 Class 1 seats,[26] including three in states won by Republican Donald Trump in both 2016 and 2020. In contrast, there are no seats in this class held by Republicans in states won by Democrat Joe Biden in 2020. In the previous Senate election cycle that coincided with a presidential election (2020), only one senator (Susan Collins of Maine) was elected in a state that was simultaneously won by the presidential nominee of the opposite party.[27]
Time's Eric Cortellessa wrote that the thesis of the Republican’s success boiled down to the simple slogan “Max out the men and hold the women”, meaning emphasizing the economy and immigration, which Trump did “relentlessly”. Cortellessa also mentioned Trump’s minimization of his numerous controversies, and push-offs of criminal trials via “a combination of friendly judges and legal postponements” to after the election. He said Trump’s “advanced age and increasingly incoherent trail rhetoric” were taken by voters in stride, and that “much of the country read Trump’s legal woes as part of a larger corrupt conspiracy to deny him, and them, power”.[28] NPR wrote that “Americans have continued to chafe at higher than pre-pandemic prices and the lack of affordable housing”, and that much of the voter placed the blame “squarely” on the Biden administration, wishing for the economy that Trump established years ago. NPR said demographics played an important role, with White voters going up as a share of the electorate from 67% to 71% and the Republicans winning 46% of Latinos, and mentioned polling’s “continued underestimation of Republicans’s support nationally and in the key swing states”.[29]

Predictions
Several sites and individuals published predictions of competitive seats. These predictions looked at factors such as the strength of the incumbent (if the incumbent was running for reelection) and the other candidates, and the state’s partisan lean (reflected in part by the state’s Cook Partisan Voting Index rating). The predictions assigned ratings to each seat, indicating the predicted advantage that a party had in winning that seat. Most election predictors used:
- “tossup“: no advantage
- “tilt” (used by some predictors): advantage that is not quite as strong as “lean”
- “lean” or “leans“: slight advantage
- “likely“: significant, but surmountable, advantage
- “safe” or “solid“: near-certain chance of victory
