2022 United States Senate elections

The 2022 United States Senate elections will be held on November 8, 2022, with 34 of the 100 seats in the Senate being contested in regular elections, the winners of which will serve six-year terms in the United States Congress from January 3, 2023, to January 3, 2029. Senators are divided into three groups, or classes, whose terms are staggered so that a different class is elected every two years. Class 3 senators were last elected in 2016, and will be up for election again in 2022.

Change in composition

Potentially competitive races

Potentially competitive Republican-held seats up for election in 2022 include Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Democratic-held seats in Colorado, Nevada and New Hampshire[1] are also expected to be competitive. Senate seats in Arizona and Georgia are currently held by Republicans but are going into competitive special elections in 2020. These seats will likely be competitive in 2022, regardless of which party wins the special elections. It is believed that Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin will be the most competitive races, regardless of which party is in the White House. If Joe Biden is President, more Democratic held seats (such as Nevada and New Hampshire) could be competitive, whereas if Donald Trump wins reelection, more Republican seats could be competitive (such as Iowa, Georgia, and Ohio).
