2024 United States Senate election in Tennessee
The 2024 United States Senate election in Tennessee will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Tennessee. Incumbent one-term Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn has filed to run for a second term and is actively campaigning. There has also been speculation that she could be a vice presidential pick for Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. Primary elections will take place on August 1, 2024. Background 
At the federal and state level, Tennessee is considered to be a strongly red state, having gone to Donald Trump by 23 points in the 2020 Presidential Election. In the Volunteer state, Republicans occupy both Senate seats, 8 out of 9 House seats, supermajorities in its state legislature, and the governor's office. In 2018, Marsha Blackburn was elected by almost 11 points, defeating former Tennessee governor Phil Bredesen and outperforming the polls in what was considered to be a competitive race. A staunch conservative, Blackburn opposes abortion, same-sex marriage, and gun control. Due to Tennessee's strong conservative bent, this race is currently considered a "Safe" Republican hold.
