... edit the California section to say Rep. Katie Porter is a lock for the election. Oh well... 209.166.108.199 (talk) 01:59, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
Texas has no declared candidate for election but the Main Article Link is active where as for Massachusetts and Nebraska both incumbents have declared their intentions to run for re-election and their Main Article Links just circle back to the main page. How does this get fixed? Dickeyaustin786 (talk) 05:15, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
It states he moved to Michigan. Is there an article that says that or a tweet? Because it doesn't state on his Wikipedia or on any other page. 2600:387:F:5910:0:0:0:2 (talk) 21:30, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
I'm totally wiki-illiterate beyond the basic typo fixes I've done sometimes, so I thought maybe someone with more skill could do this. Mike Braun has recently expressed interest in running for governor in 2024. I've seen Jim Banks and Todd Rokita, among others, mentioned as possible replacements if he does do so.2600:1700:9930:C110:3C6F:9E6E:ACF5:9DAE (talk) 09:37, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
Considering a fairly prominent Democrat ran against her in 2018, there is little reason to believe that potential Democratic candidates for Senate wouldn't consider a run against her in 2024, so the "Should Feinstein retire" line in front of the potential non-Feinstein Democratic candidates should probably be removed.

shouldn't there be a minority leader? (Mitch McConnell) why is he not included? Abdullah raji (talk) 10:56, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
I'm confused. The infobox says 34. Lead says 33. Table `Elections leading to the next Congress` has 33 entries. I'm probably missing something.DoctorCaligari (talk) 22:59, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
The colors for races with independent candidates and races where the incumbent is to be determined are a very similar shade of gray
Could one of them possibly be changed to a more clear color Magenta + Bee (talk) 21:05, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
for the parentheticals after each candidate in the race summary section, does it make more sense to list the adjectival form or noun form of each candidates’ party? to my eye, listing the adjective [ eg Barbara Lee (Democratic) ] reads as much clunkier than listing the associated noun [ eg Barbara Lee (Democrat) ]. it feels more natural to how a reader would read the section [ ie. “Barbara Lee, who is a Democrat, is running”, not “Barbara Lee, who is Democratic, is running” ]. i made this change and it was reverted so wanted to bring up for discussion here. (i know misuse of the noun as an adjective [eg “Democrat Party”] is a loaded political usage, but this doesn’t seem to be a case like that]).

If you click on New Mexico on the Map it redirects you to the 2024 Nevada Senate Race page could this possibly be fixed? Zepo123 (talk) 08:21, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
This goes for the main page for the Tennessee Senate race too, but can we all just leave "a member of the Tennessee Three" as a part of Gloria Johnson's description. Any other wording that I have seen put forward is clunky, derails from the topic of the page, and confuses readers (I.e. "avoided expulsion by one vote"). That section is not meant to go into detail about the Tennessee Three, nor is it meant to diminish the situation by making it seem as a random part of her congressional career. I believe simply leaving it as a member of the Tennessee Three serves best as a way to highlight her gun reform solidarity while not making it sound out of place or random.

Unless I'm missing something, the key for the "Map of Incumbents" is backwards.
California, Maryland, Delaware, Michigan, and Indiana all have retiring incumbents, but are darker shades of the party color. The remaining states without known incumbent retirements are the lighter shade of party color. The map key has the lighter shade denoted as "incumbent retiring" and the darker shade as "incumbent."
Should the key be edited or should the image be edited? Geistbar (talk) 04:57, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
Shouldn't there be a section on opinion polls, showing e.g. the results of generic ballot polls? 11:33, 21 September 2023 (UTC) 159.86.201.134 (talk) 11:33, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
https://www.npr.org/2023/11/09/1211907129/joe-manchin-retire Can someone please update the map to make WV dark blue? I tried to do so but apparently don't have the permissions to change the file. Jfruh (talk) 15:21, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
I live in Nebraska and used Ballotpedia for my address. Since all the differences I am commenting on are statewide, I do not have to say where in Nebraska I am. For the regular Senate election:
Ballotpedia: Republican incumbent Deb Fischer, Democrat Michael Janulewicz, and Democrat Preston Love Jr. Wikipedia: Republican incumbent Deb Fischer, Republican Arron Kowalski, and Independent Dan Osborn
For the special Senate election:
Ballotpedia: Republican incumbent Pete Ricketts and Republican John Glen Weaver Wikipedia: Republican incumbent Pete Ricketts, Republican John Glen Weaver, Democrat Preston Love Jr., and Democrat Tom Newbold
Of the six non-incumbent candidates on one or both sites, only John Glen Weaver is on both sites for the same election. Preston Love Jr. is listed for different elections. Wikipedia links to https://sos.nebraska.gov/elections/information-candidates which Wikipedia says is a "Nebraska Statewide Candidate List," but it isn't. It is a page for candidates with things like forms to file, but does not say anything about who the candidates are.
On another note, I suggest that next to each race it should have a column saying if the filing deadline has passed for all candidates, Democrats and Republicans but not write-ins/Independents/third parties that sometimes have a later filing deadline, or passed for no candidates, so that it is possible to know if there can be more candidates. Once all the filing deadlines pass, the column could be deleted. EvanJ35 (talk) 01:09, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
We need to change Tennessee to red in the map, because reliable sources are reporting Mitch McConnell is retiring. 2603:7000:9C02:90F9:44E:557F:E484:344 (talk) 23:45, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
There is normally a link to a page for a third party the first time it appears on a page. California has an American Independent candidate with a link for that party. Utah has two Independent American candidates without a link. Are these different parties, or are they one party with one of the names needing to be changed? EvanJ35 (talk) 16:59, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
In the infobox I have seen the normal Independent grey be used, but as of my comment it is changed back to the vanilla color, is there even a reason we need to use that color? Obviously this isnt the place to discuss whether that template should exist, but more to question why it is used in the first place, given there is no functional, legal, cultural, or partisan difference between someone who lacks a party affiliation in the US and in other countries around the world?

Heya folks, what color do we think we should make New Jersey now that Menendez is not running as a Democrat, but may run as an independent? He's not *currently* an independent, nor is he not seeking reelection. I think our options are these:
What are our thoughts? I think since the news is that he is definitely not running as a dem but *may* run as an independent we just change to dark blue and deal with the rest as it happens, but if anyone has other ideas lmk! TheSavageNorwegian 16:30, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
