This is also the only election cycle since the popular-vote election of senators was mandated by the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913 that the winning party in every Senate election mirrored the winning party for their state in the presidential election. The two Democratic gains came from the defeats of incumbents Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire and Mark Kirk in Illinois by Democrats Maggie Hassan and Tammy Duckworth, respectively.ĭespite Republicans retaining control of the Senate, 2016 marked the first time since 1986 where Democrats made a net gain of seats in Class 3. Although Democrats made a net gain of two seats and did not lose any of their seats, Republicans retained control of the Senate for the 115th United States Congress. Republicans, having won a majority of seats in the Senate in 2014, held the Senate majority with 54 seats before this election. In 2016, Democrats defended 10 seats, while Republicans defended 24 seats. Class 3 was last up for election in 2010, when Republicans won a net gain of six seats. In the elections, 34 of the 100 seats-all Class 3 Senate seats-were contested in regular elections the winners will serve six-year terms until January 3, 2023. The presidential election, House elections, 14 gubernatorial elections, and many state and local elections were held on the same date.
