The2024 United States attorney general elections were held on November 5, 2024, to elect theattorneys general of tenU.S. states. The previous elections for this group of states took place in2020, whileVermont's attorney general was last elected in2022.

These elections took place concurrently with the2024 presidential election, elections to theSenate andHouse of Representatives, and various otherstate and local elections.

Going into the election, there were 23 Republican attorney generals and 20 Democratic attorney generals in the United States. This class of attorneys general was made up of 5 Democrats and 5 Republicans. Democrats were defending one state won byDonald Trump in2020 (North Carolina), while Republicans did not hold any states won byJoe Biden.

Several sites and individuals published predictions of competitive seats. These predictions looked at factors such as the strength of theincumbent (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'sCook 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

States where the margin of victory was between 1% and 5%:

1. North Carolina, 2.86%
2. Pennsylvania, 4.61%

States where the margin of victory was under 10%:

1. Oregon, 8.86%
