In the upcoming Senate election in Wyoming on November 5, 2024, incumbent Senator John Barrasso, a Republican, will be seeking re-election. Barrasso, who was first elected in 2008, is a graduate of Georgetown University and a former orthopedic surgeon. His Democratic challenger is Scott Morrow, whose background includes attending the University of Wyoming and working in public service.
Currently, the United States Senate is composed of 51 Democrats and 49 Republicans. In Wyoming, the demographic breakdown shows that Non-Hispanic Whites make up 85% of the population, followed by Hispanics at 11%, Native Americans at 2%, and both Black and Asian communities at 1% each.
In the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump won Wyoming with a margin of 43.4%, while in the 2018 Senate race, John Barrasso secured victory with a margin of 36.9%. Given Wyoming's strong Republican leanings, this Senate election is considered non-competitive, with Senator Barrasso expected to retain his seat.
