The 2024 United States Senate election in New York will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of New York. Primary elections took place on June 25, 2024.[1] Incumbent Democratic Senator Kirsten Gillibrand was appointed to the Senate in January 2009 after Hillary Clinton resigned to become Secretary of State under President Obama. Gillibrand won the 2010 special election to retain the Senate seat, won her first full term in 2012, and was re-elected with 67.0% of the vote in 2018.
