After SenFeinstein finally announced her decision not to pursue reelection in 2024, immediately prompting a flock of Democrats campaigning to replace her, the pressure is on for other senators to declare their intentions for the upcoming cycle.
Yet as the 2024 Senate field takes shape, several vulnerable or high-profile politicians have yet to announce their plans for the next election cycle.
The Democratic Party of Arizona censured Sinema for blocking a voting rights bill last year, so she likely won't have much help from the state-level apparatus in a reelection bid. That may not be a problem since she's already going into 2024 with a war chest of $8.2 million, and political watchers expect national Democrats to support her as the incumbent in the race. Progressive Rep. Ruben Gallego is running for her spot.
Democrats will have to defend seats in five states that President Joe Biden narrowly won in 2020: Nevada, Wisconsin, Arizona, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Several senators from these and other states have committed to running again, which will give the Democrats an incumbency advantage. Sens. Sherrod Brown , Tammy Baldwin , Jacky Rosen , and Tim Kaine will seek reelection.
