Democrats gained control of the Senate since 2014 and retained their majority through the 2016 and 2018 Senate elections. Democrats currently hold 18 seats, while Republicans (formerly [[Conservative Socialist Party (Arabi)|Conservative Socialist]]) hold 14. The Democrats have 8 seats up for election, while the Republicans only have 3.
