2024 United States Senate election in Mississippi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2024 United States Senate election in Mississippi was held on November 5, 2024, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Mississippi. Incumbent Senator Roger Wicker took office on December 31, 2007, as an interim appointee after Trent Lott resigned 13 days prior. Wicker retained his Senate seat in the subsequent 2008 special election, won full terms in 2012 and 2018, and sought a third full term. Primary elections took place on March 12, 2024.

Mississippi has been represented in the U.S. Senate exclusively by Republicans since 1989. Wicker easily won re-election to a third full term, overperforming Trump in the concurrent presidential election by 1.92 percent.[1] Wicker improved on his performance, winning his largest margins ever and the largest margin for a senate election since 2002 (when Thad Cochran was reelected without any Democratic challengers). Wicker flipped Issaquena, Jasper, and Marshall counties from 2018.
