As the 2024 campaign cycle gets underway, a handful of House Democrats have jumped into Senate races, leaving open a number of seats that could provide pickup opportunities for Republicans as they seek to hold on to their slim House majority.
All 435 House seats are up for grabs in the 2024 cycle as Republicans seek to maintain their four-seat majority. At least seven House Democrats have announced they won’t run for reelection in 2024 and will instead vie for the Senate, leaving some critical swing seats up for grabs.Of those seven, at least two seats are expected to be some of the most competitive races in the 2024 cycle: those currently held by Reps. Elissa Slotkin and Katie Porter .
Slotkin announced earlier this year she would forgo reelection and instead run to replace Sen. Debbie Stabenow , who is retiring at the end of this term. Slotkin’s absence leaves Michigan’s 7th District up for grabs, which is considered to be a toss-up, according to the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, giving Republicans a rare opportunity to flip a seat in a crucial battleground state.
Trone’s candidacy leaves his seat in Maryland’s 6th District up for grabs and is expected to be one of the competitive races in 2024, according to the Cook Political Report. As a result, it could give Republicans an opportunity to flip a seat in an otherwise blue state, and GOP officials say they see the race as a key pickup opportunity.
Rep. Colin Allred also announced this week he would not be running for reelection in the House, instead launching a bid against Sen. Ted Cruz . Allred’s absence leaves his seat in the 32nd Congressional District open for the first time since 2018 when he defeated Republican incumbent Pete Sessions.
