As lawmakers prepare for what is likely to be a tough election cycle in 2024, many Senate Democrats in key battleground states are considering retirement as the party seeks to defend its slim majority in the upper chamber.
The 2024 election will have 34 Senate seats up for grabs, including 22 that are now held by the Democrats, 11 that belong to the Republicans, and the Arizona seat held by Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, who announced in December she is now an independent. Making things more challenging, a handful of Democrats will be fighting for reelection in reliably red states — giving Republicans a chance to flip some crucial seats.
“Inspired by a new generation of leaders, I have decided to pass the torch in the U.S. Senate. I am announcing today that I will not seek re-election and will leave the U.S. Senate at the end of my term on January 3, 2025,” Stabenow said in a statement. “I am so grateful for the trust the people of Michigan have placed in me. I am also deeply grateful to my incredible staff, who are the best team in the United States Senate.
The race for the Senate seat has already begun to take shape after Rep. Alex Mooney announced his intent to run just one week after the midterm elections.Although she has not yet revealed her future plans, Sen. Dianne Feinstein is widely expected to announce her retirement from her California Senate seat in the coming months. If so, her retirement would open up a Senate seat in California that hasn’t been up for grabs since 1992.
