Sen. Tim Kaine announces he'll run for another term in 2024.
"I will make the formal announcement about my re-election sometime soon, and I will be out doing the town halls … that I love to do,” she added.she's running again too, adding that"I think my ability to deliver for our state has never been greater."
Democrats have to defend 23 seats in 2024, including two where independents caucus with their party, compared to 11 seats held by Republicans. Those numbers alone are stark, but they undersell how difficult the Senate map is for Democrats next year — three of their incumbents are in states former President Donald Trump won in 2020 and another five are from states President Joe Biden won by less than 4 points that year.
When asked by NBC News about whether any concern about the Democratic Senate map weighed on his decision, Kaine said that his colleagues in the Senate were"both encouraged" him but also"gave me space and time" to decide."We do have a tough map in '24 because I think out of the 33, 34 seats, we're defending two-thirds and the places where we're playing offense are not necessarily the most favorably territory.
