The 2024 United States Senate election in Wyoming will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Wyoming. Incumbent Senator John Barrasso was appointed to the Senate in 2007 after Craig Thomas died. Barrasso won a 2008 special election to complete Thomas' term and won full terms in 2012 and 2018. He is seeking a third full term, and has declared his intent to run for Assistant Republican Leader at the end of the year. [1] The primary elections will take place on August 20, 2024. Whoever wins the Republican Primary is expected to easily win the general election; Wyoming has been represented in the U.S. Senate exclusively by Republicans since 1977 and present day Wyoming is also staunchly Republican in all other statewide elections.
