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 took place on August 20, 2024. Barrasso won renomination and will face Democrat Scott Morrow in the general election. Wyoming has been represented in the U.S. Senate exclusively by Republicans since 1977 and is also staunchly Republican in all other statewide elections.[2]
