In the upcoming Senate election in Maine on November 5, 2024, the incumbent Independent Senator Angus King, who caucuses with the Democrats, will be seeking re-election. Senator King, who was first elected in 2012, is facing Republican nominee Demi Kouzounas and Democratic nominee David Costello. Senator King, a graduate of Dartmouth College and the University of Virginia School of Law, previously worked as a lawyer and served as Governor of Maine before being elected to the Senate.

Currently, the United States Senate is composed of 51 Democrats and 49 Republicans. In Maine, Non-Hispanic Whites make up 94% of the population.

In previous election years, Maine has shown a tendency towards favoring Democratic candidates. In 2016, Hillary Clinton won the state by a margin of 3%, while Joe Biden carried it by a margin of 9% in 2020. King won by a significant margin of 19.0 percentage points in 2018. Given this historical trend, the upcoming Senate race in Maine is not expected to be competitive, with King favored to win by a wide margin.
