Five Democrats who may retire ahead of 2024 Senate elections as GOP seeks control
Fox News
Five Senate Democrats could retire ahead of the 2024 elections in America, relinquishing their seats to other individuals as the GOP seeks to gain control of the legislative chamber.
Last month, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., became the latest senator to announce she would not seek re-election in 2024, following in the footsteps on Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., who announced last month that she would relinquish her seat in the upper chamber when her term expires in 2025. Kyle Morris covers politics for Fox News.

A total of 34 Senate seats — 20 currently held by Democrats, 11 currently held by Republicans, and 3 currently held by independents — will be up for grabs next cycle. The three independent senators currently caucus with Democrats in the Senate, meaning Democrats will be tasked with defending 23 of the 34 seats in 2024 if they wish to maintain their majority in the legislative body.
