2022 United States Senate Elections (Nick's Version)

The United States Senate election in 2022 was held on November 8, 2022. Similar to the 2014 Senate Elections, the President's party not only had a smaller opposition in the House of Representatives, but they also lost the Senate.
== Background ==
After Trump's re-election, the stock market was even worse, as it was down to the point before the major spike at the end of Obama's Administration. And Healthcare prices were getting higher and higher. This caused mass political unrest in America and caused it to move towards the left of both socially and economically. This all foreshadowed a tough road for the Republicans in 2022, especially in the US Senate.
== Results ==
*- Mark Kelly won a Special Election in 2020 to fill a seat vacated by the death of John McCain. Doug Collins won another Special Election in 2020 to fill a seat vacated by the resignation of Johnny Isakson.

== Aftermath ==
This election resulted in not only the Democrats not only taking the Senate, which left Trump forced to keep all of his Cabinet Secretaries for the remainder of his second term, and unable to get his federal judges confirmed, it also was the end of Neo-Liberal dominance over the Democratic Party and politics as a whole, as Nancy Pelosi had retired from her position as Speaker of the House and from her Congressional Seat, both being taken over by Ayanna Pressley and her son John Pelosi respectively, and Chuck Schumer mostly gave in to the Progressive Wing of the party. This is because many of the House and Senate gains by the Democratic Party came from the Progressive Wing, such as J.D. Scholten of Iowa and Erica D. Smith of North Carolina winning their Senate Seats. Marking the end of an era, where the country became more polarised than ever before. Urban States voted overwhelmingly for the Demcratic Party, while Rural States went for the Republican Party. This election was the first major spark that began the Second Progressive Era in American Politics that lasted from 2022 to 2052, when "crazy socialist ideas" like Universal Healthcare, taxing the rich, moving towards full democracy, getting money out of politics, a non-interventionist foreign policy, and more sanctuary for immigrants became cool and popular ideas, and was the final nail in the coffin for the Reagan Era of the late 20th Century and for crony capitalism in general.
