About our US Senate Elections news

Latest news on US Senate Elections: Comprehensive coverage of races, candidates, polls, key issues, and battleground states in the crucial midterm contest for control of the upper chamber.

The 2024 United States Senate elections last took place on the 5 November 2024, with 34 of the 100 seats in the Senate up for grabs. This pivotal election determined the balance of power in the upper chamber of Congress, with both major parties vying for control. Before the election the Democratic Party held a slim majority, which was ultimately lost when the Republicans gained four new seats.

The next US Senate elections are scheduled for Tuesday, 3 November 2026.
