2022 United States Senate elections (YoungLibertarian20)

The 2022 United States Senate elections will be held on November 8, 2022, with 34 of the 100 seats in the Senate being contested in regular elections, the winners of which will serve six-year terms in the United States Congress from January 3, 2023, to January 3, 2029. Senators are divided into three groups, or classes, whose terms are staggered so that a different class is elected every two years. Class 3 senators were last elected in 2016, and will be up for election again in 2022.
All 34 Class 3 Senate seats are up for election in 2022; Class 3 currently consists of 14 Democrats and 20 Republicans. One special election for a seat held by a Democrat will be held in conjunction with the general elections: in California, to fill the final weeks of Kamala Harris's term.
Six Republican senators and one Democratic senator announced that they are not seeking re-election; 13 Republicans and 13 Democrats are running for re-election. Numerous other federal, state, and local elections, including the 2022 House elections, will also be held on this date. The winners of this election will serve beginning in the 118th United States Congress. Democrats have held a majority in the Senate since January 20, 2021, following the run-offs in the Georgia regular and Georgia special Senate elections, when they won two seats for a total Democratic caucus of 50, and the inauguration of Democrat Kamala Harris as Vice President, who serves as tie-breaker in the Senate.
The Republicans regained the majority of the Senate, and were projected to do so ahead of the election. They needed a net gain of only one seat to gain the majority. The Republicans defeated Democratic incumbents in Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada; and holding all of their open seats in Alabama, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and South Dakota. In Alaska, incumbent Lisa Murkowski lost the blanket primary to fellow Republican Kelly Tshibaka. The Democrats held onto their open seat in Vermont.
