2-3The 2020 United States Senate elections will be held on November 3, 2020, with the 33 class 2 seats of the Senate contested in regular elections. The winners will be elected to six-year terms extending from January 3, 2021, to January 3, 2027. There will also be three special elections: one in each of Illinois, Ohio and Maryland. All were brought on by the early resignation of the incumbent Senators.
In the 2014 United States Senate elections (the last regularly scheduled elections for class 2 Senate seats), the Republicans won eight seats from the Democrats and gained a majority in the Senate, which they successfully defended in 2016 and 2018. Following the Republican defeat in the 2019 Texas U.S. Senate special election, Republicans hold 52 seats entering this election. Republicans will be defending 20 seats, while Democrats will be defending 16.
Democrats need to net a gain of three seats or two seats and the Vice-Presidency in the concurrent Presidential Election to win a majority.
Competitive Races
Competitive Republican held seats are expected to be Colorado, Ohio, Maine, Iowa and North Carolina. Georgia, Montana and Texas could also become competitive. Competitive Democratic held seats are expected to be in Alabama, Alaska, Michigan and New Hampshire. New Mexico, Minnesota and Virginia could also become competitive.
