General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[1]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[2][3][4]

Nine primaries—five Democratic and four Republican—were contested in 2024. Ten primaries were contested in 2022 and 2020, respectively.
Three incumbents—two Democrats and one Republican—faced primary challengers in 2024, the fewest since 2014 when two incumbents faced primary challengers.
Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all six districts, meaning no seats were guaranteed to either party.
