Corrections & Clarifications: The story has been updated to correct David Trone's time of service as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. 

The 2024 presidential campaign is already well underway, but ballots across the country are long, and commander in chief isn't the only position in play.

There are 33 United States senators up for reelection in 2024. Ten are Republicans, three are Independents, and 20 are Democrats.

The upper chamber, which is now controlled narrowly by Democrats, could flip red if the GOP performs well in November. The map is considered to favor Republicans slightly this election cycle, though electoral predictions will continue to evolve, and surprises on the campaign trail are always possible.

Come decision day 2024, these are the states that will see contests for senator, and who currently represents them.

Which senators are up for reelection in 2024?

Arizona

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., questions the witnesses during a Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs hearing examining the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, Tuesday, May 16, 2023, on Capitol Hill in Washington.

Kyrsten Sinema

Party: Independent

Sinema, once a Democrat, is known for her eccentric fashion choices and her centrist views, which have regularly held up the Democratic policy agenda. Sinema left the Democratic Party in December 2022 over concerns of "rigid partisanship."

Sinema will not run for reelection, citing increased polarization in the Senate. Rep. Ruben Gallego, D.-Ariz., is the leading Democratic candidate to fill Sinema's seat. Kari Lake, a former news anchor and 2022 gubernatorial candidate, is the leading Republican choice.

California

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., returns to the Senate Judiciary Committee following a more than two-month absence at the Capitol in Washington, Thursday, May 11, 2023.

Dianne Feinstein

Party: Democratic

After winning California's "jungle primary," Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff and Republican former baseball star Steve Garvey will be on the ballot in November to fill the seat of the late Feinstein, who died in September 2023. The Super Tuesday ballot featured Schiff, Garvey and two other Democratic House lawmakers: Reps. Barbara Lee and Katie Porter.

Some feel Schiff is to thank in part for Garvey's second-place finish – he spent millions of dollars on ads boosting Garvey in the lead-up to the primary. The race for the liberal state's Senate seat is all but secured for Schiff as Californians haven't voted in a Republican Senator since 1988.
