To maintain their working majority of 50 Senators and Republican Vice President Mike Pence (who can cast a tie-breaking vote), Republicans could only afford a net loss of one Senate seat in the 2018 elections. The Republicans had a 52-48 majority after the 2016 elections, but they lost a seat in Alabama in December 2017 after senator Jeff Sessions resigned to become the U.S. Attorney General and Democrat Doug Jones won the resulting special election. Three Republican-held seats were open as a result of retirements in Tennessee, Utah and Arizona, while every Democratic incumbent ran for re-election. Democrats faced an extremely unfavorable map as they were defending ten seats in states won by Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election and 26 in total while Republicans were only defending one seat in a state won by Hillary Clinton in 2016 and nine in total. Additionally, Democrats were defending five seats in states that Trump won by double digits in 2016.

The Republicans increased their majority, defeating Democratic incumbents in Florida, Indiana, Missouri and North Dakota, and holding open seats in Tennessee and Utah. Democrats won two Republican-held seats, defeating incumbent Dean Heller in Nevada and winning an open seat in Arizona that was previously held by Jeff Flake.

Focus on competitive races

Democrats targeted Republican-held Senate seats in Arizona (open seat) and Nevada.[2] Seats in Texas,[3] Mississippi (at least one of the two seats) and Tennessee (open seat)[4] were also competitive for the Democrats. Republicans targeted Democratic-held seats in Indiana, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota and West Virginia, all of which voted for Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election and Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.[5] Seats in Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, all of which voted for Trump in 2016, were also targeted by Republicans.[2][6] The Democratic-held seat in New Jersey was also considered unexpectedly competitive due to the corruption allegations surrounding incumbent Bob Menendez.

Partisan composition

Among the 33 Class 1 Senate seats up for regular election in 2018, twenty-three were held by Democrats, two by independents who caucused with the Senate Democrats and eight by Republicans. Class Two seats in Minnesota and Mississippi held by interim appointees were also up for election; both incumbent appointees sought election to finish their unexpired terms.

The map was widely characterized as extremely unfavorable to Democrats, as Democrats were defending 26 states while Republicans were defending nine. Of these seats, Democrats were defending ten in states won by Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, while Republicans were only defending one seat in a state won by Hillary Clinton in 2016.[7][8][9] According to FiveThirtyEight, Democrats faced the most unfavorable Senate map in 2018 that any party has ever faced in any election.[10][11]

The 2018 election cycle was the first midterm election cycle since 2002 in which any incumbents of the non-presidential party lost re-election. The number of defeated non-presidential party incumbents (4) was the most since the 1934 midterms.[12]

Change in composition

Each block represents one of the one hundred seats in the Senate. "D#" is a Democratic senator, "I#" is an Independent senator and "R#" is a Republican senator. Arranged so parties are separated and a majority is clear by crossing the middle.

Before the elections

Each block indicates an incumbent senator's actions going into the election. Some "Ran" for re-election, some "Retired," and those without a note were not up for election this cycle. Before the elections, Republicans held 51 seats, Democrats held 47, and Independents held 2.

After these elections, Democrats had 45 seats, independents had 2, and Republicans had 53.

Final pre-election predictions

Several sites and individuals publish predictions of competitive seats. These predictions look at factors such as the strength of the incumbent (if the incumbent is running for reelection) and the other candidates, and the state's partisan lean (reflected in part by the state's Cook Partisan Voting Index rating). The predictions assign ratings to each seat, indicating the predicted advantage that a party has in winning that seat.

Most election predictors used:

• "tossup": no advantage
• "tilt" (used by some predictors): advantage that is not quite as strong as "lean"
• "lean": slight advantage
• "likely" or "favored": significant, but surmountable, advantage
• "safe" or "solid": near-certain chance of victory
