- Source: 2024 United States attorney general elections
The 2024 United States attorney general elections were held on November 5, 2024, to elect the attorneys general of ten U.S. states. The previous elections for this group of states took place in 2020, while Vermont's attorney general was last elected in 2022.
These elections took place concurrently with the 2024 presidential election, elections to the Senate and House of Representatives, and various other state and local elections.
Partisan composition
Going into these elections, this class of attorneys general is made up of 5 Democrats and 5 Republicans. Democrats are defending one state won by Donald Trump in 2020 (North Carolina), while Republicans do not hold any states won by Joe Biden.
Election predictions
Several sites and individuals published predictions of competitive seats. These predictions looked at factors such as the strength of the incumbent (if the incumbent is running for re-election), the strength of the candidates, and the partisan leanings of the state (reflected in part by the state's Cook Partisan Voting Index rating). The predictions assigned ratings to each seat, with the rating indicating the predicted advantage that a party has in winning that seat.
Most election predictors use:
"tossup": no advantage
"tilt" (used by some predictors): advantage that is not quite as strong as "lean"
"lean": slight advantage
"likely": significant, but surmountable, advantage
"safe": near-certain chance of victory
