The 2024 United States Senate election in Nevada will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of Nevada. Democratic incumbent Jacky Rosen is seeking a second term. She is being challenged by Republican businessman Sam Brown. Primary elections took place on June 11, 2024.[1] The election is considered essential for Democrats' chances to retain the Senate majority in 2024.[2]

Background

A typical swing state, Nevada is considered to be a purple state at the federal level, especially since in the 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden carried Nevada by about two percentage points. Both parties have seen success in the state in recent years. Democrats control both U.S. Senate seats, majorities in both state legislative chambers, and all but one seat in its congressional delegation, while Republicans flipped the governorship in 2022.[3] [4] [5]

As of June 2024, no Republican has won any U.S. Senate race in Nevada since 2012. This race is considered to be highly competitive given the state's nearly even partisan lean; however, most polls show Rosen to be the favorite to win.[6]
