In the upcoming November 5, 2024, Senate election in New York, incumbent Democrat Kirsten Gillibrand is seeking re-election. Gillibrand, a graduate of Dartmouth College and a lawyer by profession, first won her Senate seat in 2010. Her Republican challenger, Michael Sapraicone, is a candidate making his first run for Senate.
Currently, the United States Senate is composed of 51 Democrats and 49 Republicans. In New York, the population is 55% Non-Hispanic White, 20% Hispanic, 14% Black, and 10% Asian.
In previous election years, New York has consistently leaned towards the Democratic Party. In 2020, Joe Biden won the state by a margin of 23.1%, and in 2018, Kirsten Gillibrand secured her Senate seat with a comfortable 34.0% margin. Given the state's status as Democratic stronghold, the upcoming election in New York is not expected to be competitive, with Kirsten Gillibrand likely to retain her Senate seat.
