The 2024 United States Senate elections were held on November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections. 33 out of the 100 seats in the U.S. Senate were contested in regular elections, plus one seat in a special election.[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 faced election in 2024.[6] The Republicans outperformed expectations and regained the majority they had held before 2021, gaining 4 seats for a comfortable majority.

There were 26 senators (15 Democrats, 9 Republicans, and 2 independents) seeking re-election in 2024.[7] 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.[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, were not seeking re-election in 2024.[15][16]
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.[17][13][18] Republicans won control of the US Senate with 52 seats, flipping seats in Ohio, West Virginia 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.
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 as Democrats Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, Ruben Gallego of Arizona, Jacky Rosen of Nevada, and Elissa Slotkin of Michigan won in states won by the Republican presidential nominee.[19][20][21][22] This is also the first time since 2012 that Democrats won a Senate seat in a state they did not carry in a presidential election, and with Democrats having flipped a seat in Pennsylvania in 2022, this is also the first time since 2012 that any party flipped a Senate seat in a state whose other seat was flipped by the opposition party in the previous election cycle. Additionally, 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.
All 33 Class 1 Senate seats, and one Class 2 seat, are up for election in 2024; where Class 1 currently consists of 20 Democrats, 4 independents who caucus with the Senate Democrats,[d] and 10 Republicans.
Election analysts considedered the map for these Senate elections to be highly unfavorable to Democrats. Democrats were to defend 23 of the 33 Class 1 seats.[25] There were three seats being defended by Democrats 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.[26]
The Republicans not only defended all of their seats but also flipped 4 democratic held seats like West Virgina, Montana and key swing states such as Ohio and Pennsylvania. This eventually helped them in regaining the majority of the Senate, which they had last held before 2021.

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:

One-term independent Kyrsten Sinema was narrowly elected in 2018 as a Democrat with 50.0% of the vote. She left the Democratic Party in December 2022.[41] Sinema announced on March 5, 2024, that she would not run for reelection.[42]
Prior to her retirement announcement, Sinema was considered vulnerable to challengers from the Democratic Party due to her opposition to some of President Joe Biden's agenda,[43] and U.S. representative Ruben Gallego launched an early bid for the Democratic nomination, which he won with no opposition.[44][45]
Among Republicans, Pinal County sheriff Mark Lamb and 2022 gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake have announced their candidacies.[46][47] Lake won the Republican primary by less than expected.

Five-term Democrat Dianne Feinstein was reelected in 2018 with 54.2% of the vote against another Democrat. On February 14, 2023, Feinstein announced that she would not seek reelection to a sixth term.[48] However, she died on September 29, 2023, leaving the seat vacant. Democrat Laphonza Butler, president of EMILY's List, was appointed by California Governor Gavin Newsom to succeed Feinstein on October 2, 2023.[49] Butler is not running for election to a full term, or for the final two months of the current term.[15]
There were three major Democratic candidates for the seat — U.S. representatives Barbara Lee, Katie Porter, and Adam Schiff — along with former professional baseball player Steve Garvey running as a Republican.[50][51][52][53][54] Schiff was viewed as representing the establishment wing of the Democratic Party, while Porter and Lee represent the progressive wing.[55]
Schiff and Garvey won the non-partisan primary election which took place on March 5, 2024, during Super Tuesday, setting up a general election campaign between the two.[55]
Due to California's election rules, similar to the previous election for the other seat, there will be two ballot items for the same seat: a general election, to elect a Class 1 senator to a full term beginning with the 119th United States Congress, to be sworn in on January 3, 2025; and a special election to fill that seat for the final weeks of the 118th Congress.

Two-term Democrat Chris Murphy was reelected in 2018 with 59.5% of the vote. He has announced he is running for a third term.[56] Beacon Falls First Selectman Gerry Smith announced his campaign in early February 2024.[57] The Republican primary was won by tavern owner Matthew Corey,[58] who was the Republican nominee in 2018.[59]
