United States Senate Election, 2022 (Nkechinyer)

The United States Senate election in 2022 was held on November 8, 2022. The election was groundbreaking, mainly due to the flip of Missouri Senator Austin Petersen back to the Libertarian Party in 2021, making 2022 one of the first elections in which three separate parties had at least one Senate seat. The Democrats made some of the largest gains in history for a President's incumbent party, gaining a total of 8 seats from Republicans, and the Republicans lost a 9th to the Libertarians. As a result, the Senate under the new congress began with 61 Democratic Senators, 38 Republican Senators, and 1 Libertarian Senator, one of the largest majorities in the senate in the modern era.
