2024 United States Senate elections (Hairy Woodchuck)

The 2024 United States Senate elections saw Republicans flip 2 Democratic seats while Democrats flipped 1 Republican seat and picked up a seat that used to be occupied by an independent. 4 Democrats retired- Joe Manchin (D-WV), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Tom Carper (D-DE), and Ben Cardin (D-MD). Angus King (I-ME) also retired, leaving 5 open seats. Democrats won 4 of the 5 seats, with the only Republican victory being in deep red West Virginia. There were 2 incumbents who were defeated. The first was Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) who was unable to overcome he state's increasing support of rightwing extremism. He lost to Jim Jordan, a fascist extremist. However, Democrats defeated fascist extremist Ted Cruz, as Texas was trending rapidly blue. Cruz was defeated by Scott Kelly, a former astronaut and the identical twin brother to Arizona Senator Scott Kelly. Although Cruz performed very strongly in rural Texas and performed surprisingly well in counties in south Texas, Kelly trounced Cruz in all of the urban areas and their surrounding suburbs. Cruz, being the fascist that he was, refused to concede to Kelly and tried to get the Supreme Court to overturn the election. However, the Supreme Court refused to hear the case as they said it was a state matter and that it was not in their power to intervene. Ultimately, Cruz had no choice but to give up and he was indicted on several counts of sedition and corruption shortly after leaving office.
State 	Prediction 	Democrat 	Total 	Republican 	Total 	Result 	Summary
Arizona 	Safe Democrat 	Kyrsten Sinema (i) 	59.43%	Andy Biggs 	37.23%	Incumbent reelected, Democratic hold 	Republicans hoped that the frustration with Kyrsten Sinema from progressive Democrats would enable them to flip this seat. Sinema struggled to win her own primary against a progressive challenger. However, when fascist Andy Biggs won the Republican primary, Sinema took a huge lead in the polls. In the end, it wasn't even close; Sinema won reelection by over 20 points and most progressives turned out to vote for her.
California (open) 	Safe Democrat 	Katie Porter 	67.12%	Young Kim 	30.98%	Incumbent retired, Democratic hold 	Dianne Feinstein announced her retirement early in 2024. In the 2016 and 2018 Senate elections in California, Republicans failed to even qualify to be on the ballot after the "jungle primary"; the winner of the primary and the runner-up were both Democrats. This time, however, a unified Republican party compared to a squabbling Democratic party enabled Republican Congresswoman Young Kim to come in second place in the primary, thus qualifying to be a candidate in the general election. Unfortunately for her, Democrat Katie Porter opened up a massive lead in the polls against her, and Kim was unable to recover despite enthusiasm for her on rightwing media. Porter won by over 35 points.
Connecticut 	Safe Democrat 	Chris Murphy (i) 	61.73%	Sue Hatfield 	38.24%	Incumbent reelected, Democratic hold 	Although Murphy had received a relatively strong challenge from Linda McMahon back in 2012 when he was first elected, he won reelection in a landslide in 2018, and again in 2024.
Delaware (open) 	Safe Democrat 	Lisa Blunt Rochester 	58.07%	Colin Bonini 	39.84%	Incumbent retired, Democratic hold 	After Senator Tom Carper announced his retirement, Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester became the presumptive Democratic nominee. She retained Carper's seat by nearly 20 points.
Florida 	Lean Republican 	Val Demings 	46.19%	Rick Scott (i) 	52.51%	Incumbent reelected, Republican hold 	After losing to Marco Rubio in 2022, Val Demings challenged fascist Senator Rick Scott in an attempt to win Florida's other Senate seat. The campaign was divisive and nasty, with both candidates taking low blows at each other practically every day. Although Demings put up a respectable showing, the increased Republican turnout from the presidential election propelled Scott to victory.
Hawaii 	Safe Democrat 	Mazie Hirono (i) 	96.21%	(None) 	- 	Incumbent reelected, Democratic hold 	Republicans didn't even bother to field a candidate to run against Senator Mazie Hirono.
Indiana 	Tilt Republican 	Pete Buttigieg 	48.28%	Mike Braun (i) 	50.39 	Incumbent reelected, Republican hold 	This was one of the most closely watched races in the entire country, as Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg proved to be a prolific fundraiser and had campaigned in every county in the state. His charisma and his widespread appeal to voters caused the polls to tighten up in the fall. Despite ultimately losing narrowly to Senator Mike Braun at the end, Buttigieg still put up a very strong performance and showed that there was still life for the Democratic party in the state.
Maine (open) 	Lean Democrat 	Jared Golden 	53.89%	Eric Brakey 	40.03%	Incumbent retired, Democratic gain 	Democrats were narrowly favored to win this open seat vacated by the retiring independent Senator Angus King. However, when fascist Eric Brakey got the Republican nomination, Congressman Jared Golden pulled ahead in the polls and ended up winning by double digits.
Maryland (open) 	Safe Democrat 	John Sarbanes 	57.34%	Larry Hogan 	42.79%	Incumbent retired, Democratic hold 	When former Republican Governor Larry Hogan declared his candidacy for the open seat, there was widespread speculation that the race could be very close and that he might even win. Despite Hogan's popularity as Governor, he ultimately was no match for Maryland's deep blue hue in federal elections. Although he kept the race within 15 points, an "accomplishment" for a Maryland Republican, the race was called for John Sarbanes, the son of former Senator Paul Sarbanes, as soon as the polls closed on election night.
Massachusetts 	Safe Democrat 	Elizabeth Warren (i) 	67.99%	John Kingston 	31.16%	Incumbent reelected, Democratic hold 	Senator and former presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren swept every county in Massachusetts and won all but 11 towns in her 37 point romp of John Kingston.
Michigan 	Lean Democrat 	Debbie Stabenow (i) 	51.03%	John Moolenaar 	47.98%	Incumbent reelected, Democratic hold 	Republicans invested large amounts of time and money in this state, but Senator Debbie Stabenow narrowly won reelection thanks to strong support for her in urban and suburban areas.
Minnesota 	Safe Democrat 	Amy Klobuchar (i) 	66.25%	Mary Franson 	29.93%	Incumbent reelected, Democratic hold 	Senator and former presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar trounced fascist state representative Mary Franson, winning every county in the state and outperforming the presidential margin by 26 points.
Mississippi 	Safe Republican 	Jim Hood 	37.81%	Roger Wicker (i) 	59.74%	Incumbent reelected, Republican hold 	Although former state Attorney General Jim Hood put up a very respectable showing in the 2019 gubernatorial race, he was no match for incumbent Senator Roger Wicker.
Missouri 	Likely Republican 	Cori Bush 	42.83%	Josh Hawley (i) 	55.69%	Incumbent reelected, Republican hold
