The 2024 United States Senate elections are scheduled to be held on November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections. 33 out of the 100 seats in the U.S. Senate will be contested in regular elections.^[3][4] Senators are divided into 3 classes whose 6-year terms are staggered so that a different class is elected every 2 years.^[5] Class 1 senators will face election in 2024.^[6]

As of October 2024, 26 senators (15 Democrats, 9 Republicans, and 2 independents) are seeking re-election in 2024.^[7] 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) are not seeking reelection.^{[8][9][10][11][12][13][14]} Laphonza Butler of California and George Helmy of New Jersey, Democrats who were appointed to their current seats in 2023 and 2024, respectively, are not seeking election in 2024.^[15][16]

2 special Senate elections will take place concurrently with the 2024 regular Senate elections: 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.^[17][13][18]

All 33 Class 1 Senate seats, and one Class 2 seat are up for election in 2024; Class 1 currently consists of 20 Democrats, 4 independents who caucus with the Senate Democrats,^[d] and 10 Republicans.

Election 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.^[21] 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 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.^[22]

Each block represents one of the 100 seats in the U.S. Senate. “D#” is a Democratic/active senator, “I#” is an Independent senator, and “R#” is a Republican/active senator. They are arranged so that the parties are separated, and a majority is clear by crossing the middle.

Each block indicates an incumbent senator’s actions going into the election.

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

Nine senators have announced plans to retire. Senator Dianne Feinstein had previously announced her intent to retire at the end of her term; however, she died on September 29, 2023.

In each special election, the winner’s term begins immediately after their election is certified by their state’s government.

Elections are sorted by date then state.

In these general elections, the winners will be elected for the term beginning January 3, 2025.
