The winners will serve six-year terms from January 3, 2021, until January 3, 2027. Additionally, there will be a [[United States Senate special election in Arizona, 2020|special election]] in Arizona to fill the seat of [[John McCain]].


The [[United States presidential election, 2020|2020 presidential election]], [[United States House of Representatives elections, 2020|elections to the House of Representatives]], elections for governors in states and territories, and many state and local elections will also be held on this date.

The following year he was appointed as under-secretary of state and government spokesman. In 1974 he became ambassador to the [[United Nations]]. He represented West Germany as president of the [[UN Security Council]] in 1977 and 1978 and was later the West German Ambassador in [[Italy]] (1981-1983) and in the [[United Kingdom]] (1983-1988).

In [[United States Senate elections, 2014|2014]], the last regular election of the Class 2 Senate seats, [[Republican Party (United States)|Republicans]] won a net gain of nine seats from the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrats]], and have significantly more seats to defend, though many are not considered competitive.
==Personal life==
Wechmar was married and with his wife had three children.


==Partisan composition==
References:
The composition of the Senate going into the 2020 election will depend on the results of the [[United States Senate elections, 2018|2018]] elections. In the 2020 election, all 33 [[Classes of United States Senators|Class 2 Senate seats]] are up for election; there are currently 21 Republicans and 11 Democrats whose seats will be up for election, and two seats to be determined in the 2018 elections. The exact numbers could change if vacancies or party switches occur. There will be a special election to fill John McCain's seat. Additional special elections may also be held in 2020 if additional vacancies arise in Class 1 or Class 3 Senate seats.

Revision as of 15:30, 12 October 2018

United States Senate elections, 2020

← 2018 November 3, 2020 2022 →

Class 2 (33 of the 100) seats in the United States Senate
(and 1 special election)
51 seats needed for a majority

Seats up for election:
     Democratic incumbent
     Republican incumbent
     Undetermined incumbent
     No election

Elections to the United States Senate will be held on November 3, 2020 with the 33 Class 2 seats of the Senate being contested in regular elections. The winners will serve six-year terms from January 3, 2021, until January 3, 2027. Additionally, there will be a special election in Arizona to fill the seat of John McCain.

The 2020 presidential election, elections to the House of Representatives, elections for governors in states and territories, and many state and local elections will also be held on this date.

In 2014, the last regular election of the Class 2 Senate seats, Republicans won a net gain of nine seats from the Democrats, and have significantly more seats to defend, though many are not considered competitive.

Partisan composition

The composition of the Senate going into the 2020 election will depend on the results of the 2018 elections. In the 2020 election, all 33 Class 2 Senate seats are up for election; there are currently 21 Republicans and 11 Democrats whose seats will be up for election, and two seats to be determined in the 2018 elections. The exact numbers could change if vacancies or party switches occur. There will be a special election to fill John McCain's seat. Additional special elections may also be held in 2020 if additional vacancies arise in Class 1 or Class 3 Senate seats.

Two seats, Minnesota and Mississippi will be decided in 2018 special elections and they are listed below as "Unknown."
