U.S. senator before election Mike Braun Republican Elected U.S. senator Jim Banks Republican

The 2024 United States Senate election in Indiana was held on November 5, 2024, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Indiana. Republican congressman Jim Banks was elected to his first term, defeating Democratic psychologist Valerie McCray in the general election. ^[1] Banks succeeded Republican incumbent Mike Braun, who opted instead to run for governor. ^[2] This was the first election for this seat in which there was no incumbent running since 1958. ^[a]

On election day, Republican Banks defeated Democrat Valerie McCray by a near 20-percentage-point margin, winning all but three counties. Indiana has not elected a Democrat to the United States Senate since Joe Donnelly was elected in 2012.
