The 2028 United States Senate elections will be held on November 7, 2028, with 34 of the 100 seats in the Senate being contested in regular elections, the winners of which will serve 6-year terms in the United States Congress from January 3, 2029, to January 3, 2035, which will include the entire term of the president who wins the 2028 presidential election and the first two years of the 2032 presidential election winner's term. Senators are divided into three classes whose terms are staggered so that a different class is elected every other year. Class 3 senators were last elected in 2022, and will be up for election again in 2028. A special election is expected to be held in Tennessee, to fill Marsha Blackburn's unexpired Senate term. These elections will run concurrently with the 2028 United States presidential election. Democrats are defending five seats in states that voted for Donald Trump in 2024.
Partisan composition
[edit]All 34 Class 3 Senate seats, and one Class 1 seat, are up for election in 2028; Class 3 currently consists of 19 Republicans and 15 Democrats. If vacancies occur in Class 1 or Class 2 Senate seats, that state might require a special election to take place during the 120th Congress, possibly concurrently with the other 2028 Senate elections. Democrats hold four seats in states won by Donald Trump in 2024, while Republicans hold no seats in states won by Kamala Harris.
Change in composition
[edit]Each block represents one of the one hundred seats in the U.S. Senate. "D#" is a Democratic senator and "R#" is a Republican senator. They are arranged so that the parties are separated and a majority is clear by crossing the middle.

He has stated that he is waiting until after the 2026 midterms to decide whether or not he will seek re-election.[14] If he wins re-election, he would be the oldest senator to ever win an election, beating Strom Thurmond. If he serves the next full term, Grassley can also surpass Robert Byrd as the longest-serving senator in U.S. history, and surpass Thurmond as the oldest-serving senator in American history.
Senior advisor to the United States Agency for Global Media Kari Lake, who was previously the Republican nominee for governor of Arizona in 2022 and U.S. Senate in 2024, has since moved to Iowa, and she is viewed as a potential candidate.[15]

Senator Paul indicated in a March 2026 interview on CBS News Sunday Morning that he was "considering" a run for president in 2028.[20] Kentucky does not permit simultaneously running for U.S. Senate and the presidency.[10]

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been seen as a possible candidate for the Democratic primary.[26] Ocasio-Cortez has seen private support from colleagues to challenge Schumer following his support of a Republican budget bill.[27] A Data for Progress poll found her leading Schumer 55 to 36 in a hypothetical primary.[28] A poll by Honan Strategy Group similarly showed a 21-point lead for Ocasio-Cortez over Schumer amongst Democratic primary voters.[29] In September 2026, Ocasio-Cortez said that she will decide whether to run for president or for Schumer's Senate seat after the midterm elections.[30]

On January 29, 2024, the Oklahoma Republican Party censured Lankford for negotiating with Democrats on a potential border deal.[35] In an interview the following month, then-former President Donald Trump stated that Lankford's actions are "very bad for his career" and did not rule out endorsing a primary challenger in 2028.[36]

[edit] | |||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
One-term Democrat John Fetterman was elected in 2022 with 51.2% of the vote.
Democratic former U.S. representative Conor Lamb has been seen as a potential primary challenger given his criticism of Fetterman amid discontent with the senator among Democratic voters for failing to adequately oppose President Trump and the Republican Party, not holding town halls and public events since the November 2024 elections, voting to confirm many of Trump's nominees, and advocating for the United States to bomb Iran while continuously and repeatedly criticizing Democrats such as condemning the party's rhetoric towards Trump. Lamb has been a longtime rival of Fetterman and was one of his two primary opponents in 2022.[37][38][39][40][41]
Democratic congresswoman Summer Lee is also seen as a potential challenger to Fetterman.[42] On June 25, Lee supposedly took aim at Fetterman by posting "2028 can't come fast enough for PA" after he voted against the Iran War Powers Resolution.[43] Lee's fellow Squad members Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Ayanna Pressley expressed their support for her possible candidacy.[44]
Other potential primary challengers in addition to Lamb and Lee include state representative Malcolm Kenyatta (who also previously ran in 2022), state senator Maria Collett, Philadelphia district attorney Larry Krasner, U.S. representatives Brendan Boyle, Chris Deluzio, Chrissy Houlahan, Mary Gay Scanlon, and former U.S. representative Susan Wild.[42][45][46][47][48] U.S. representative Madeleine Dean said she would not run if Fetterman runs, though she expressed interest in running if he retires.[49]
Former senator Bob Casey, who lost to senator Dave McCormick in 2024, was seen as a potential candidate, but declined to run.[50]
South Carolina

| |||||||
Two-term Republican incumbent Tim Scott was re-elected in 2022 with 62.9% of the vote. Scott originally pledged that he would retire in 2028, before later reversing his decision and announcing a re-election bid in March 2026.[4]

| |||||||
| |||||||
Two-term Republican Marsha Blackburn was re-elected in 2024 with 63.8% of the vote. Blackburn will resign from the Senate after winning the 2026 gubernatorial election. U.S. representatives Chuck Fleischmann and Tim Burchett are considered possible appointees by governor Bill Lee.[53] Former Knox County mayor Glenn Jacobs, who served as campaign treasurer for Blackburn's gubernatorial campaign, is also seen as a possible appointee.[54] However, Blackburn says she plans to appoint her own successor to the Senate.[55] In that case, there will be a special election for the final two years of Blackburn's term.
