Attor­ney gen­er­al races to watch head­ing into 2024

While there’s a heavy focus on the pres­i­den­tial elec­tion in 2024, sev­er­al states will also hold races for attor­ney gen­er­al — a role that often push­es politi­cians into the spot­light and sets them on a col­li­sion course with nation­al office.
Penn­syl­va­nia and North Car­oli­na are notable open-seat attor­ney gen­er­al races com­ing in 2024, with states like West Vir­ginia and Wash­ing­ton also hold­ing open elec­tions for the posi­tion next year. In these races, the cur­rent attor­neys gen­er­al are either opt­ing to retire or run­ning for gov­er­nor, a typ­i­cal next step.
