rdf:langString 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, the winners of which will serve six-year terms in the U.S. Congress from January 3, 2025, to January 3, 2031. Senators are divided into three groups, or classes, whose terms are staggered so that a different class is elected every two years. Class 1 senators were last elected in 2018, and will be up for election again in 2024. Numerous other federal, state, and local elections, including the U.S. presidential election and elections to the House, will also be held on this date. As of December 2022, 16 senators (13 Democrats, two Republicans and one Independent caucused with Democrats) have announced plans to run for re-election. One Republican, Mike Braun, has announced an intention to retire. Another Republican, Ben Sasse, is reported to be resigning early to accept a position as president of the University of Florida; the governor of Nebraska will appoint an interim senator and a special election will take place concurrently with the 2024 regular Senate elections to fill the seat for the remainder of the term. The map for these elections, like in the previous Class 1 Senate election in 2018, is considered by elections analysts to be unfavorable to Democrats, who will be defending 23 of the 33 seats of Class 1. Three Democrats in this class represent states won by Donald Trump in both 2016 and 2020 , while no Republicans represent states won by Joe Biden in 2020. Further, Democrats are defending seats in seven states that Biden won by a single-digit margin while Republicans are defending only two seats in states that Trump won by a single-digit margin ( and ). In the two most recent senate election cycles that coincided with presidential elections (2016 and 2020), only one senator (Republican Susan Collins of Maine in 2020) has been elected in a state that was won by the presidential nominee of the opposite party.
