These 10 U.S. Senate seats are most likely to flip in 2024
While Americans will be voting for president in 2024, millions of other voters across 34 states will also be choosing who will represent them in the US Senate. Democrats will be defending 23 (20 Democrats and three independents who caucus with Democrats) while Republicans are defending 11 seats of their own.
In a CNN analysis of the top 10 most competitive senate races next year, eight of the ten most likely to flip are currently held by Democrats, with Republicans only fighting to keep two closely contested seats. Democrats currently hold a slim 51-seat majority, meaning they can only afford one net loss in order to maintain control with Vice President Kamala Harris casting the tie-breaking vote. If Republicans win back the White House in 2024, a Republican vice president would break the tie in an evenly divided 50-50 US Senate.
