Battlegrounds
Elections for 34 U.S. Senate seats will take place in 2024. Thirty-three of those seats are up for regular election, and one[11] is up for a special election. Ahead of the November election, Democrats have a majority in the U.S. Senate, controlling 51 seats[12] to Republicans' 49.
Ballotpedia has identified 12 races as general election battlegrounds in 2024.
These battleground races were selected using the following criteria. For more information on our methodology, click here:
- the results of the 2020 presidential election in each state,
- whether the incumbent was seeking re-election,
- whether the incumbent was serving his or her first term in the U.S. Senate, and
- how the Cook Political Report, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and Inside Elections with Nathan Gonzales rated the race.
In addition to the competitiveness data above, races were included if they were particularly compelling or meaningful to the balance of power in governments for other reasons.
In 2022, Ballotpedia identified 12 U.S. Senate battleground races: four Democratic seats and eight Republican seats. Democrats won one Republican-held seat. Republicans won no seats held by Democrats.

- Top-two and top-four battleground primaries, 2024
The following map displays all states holding U.S. Senate elections in 2024 shaded by the incumbent's or most recent incumbent's political affiliation. Battleground races are highlighted in lighter colors. Hover over a state for more information.
