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.

All 34 Class 3 Senate seats are up for election in 2022; Class 3 currently consists of 14 Democrats and 20 Republicans. One special election for a seat held by a Democrat will be held in conjunction with the general elections, in California to fill the final weeks of Kamala Harris's term.[1]

As of September 2021, five Republican senators have announced they are not seeking re-election, 12 Republican senators are running for re-election, 13 Democratic senators are running for re-election, and no Democratic senators have announced plans for retirement. Three Republicans and one Democrat are yet to confirm whether they intend to retire or run for re-election: Ron Johnson (R) from Wisconsin,[2] Lisa Murkowski (R) from Alaska,[3] John Thune (R) from South Dakota,[4] and Patrick Leahy (D) from Vermont.[5]

In contrast to 2018, where Democrats were defending 10 seats in states that Donald Trump won in 2016, Democrats hold no seats in any state that was won by Trump in 2020. Meanwhile, the GOP is defending two seats (Wisconsin and Pennsylvania) in states President Joe Biden won in 2020, compared to just one seat (Nevada won by Hillary Clinton in 2016) that was up for grabs in 2018.

Change in composition

Each block represents one of the one hundred seats in the U.S. Senate. "D#" is a Democratic senator, "I#" is an Independent senator, and "R#" is a Republican senator. They are arranged so the 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.

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 was running for re-election) 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 had in winning that seat. Most election predictors use:

  • "tossup" / "battleground": no advantage
  • "tilt" (used by some predictors): minimal, smallest advantage
  • "lean": slight advantage
  • "likely": significant, but surmountable, advantage
  • "safe" or "solid": near-certain chance of victory

Election outlets currently rate North Carolina and Pennsylvania as the most likely tossup races. Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Iowa are also rated as competitive, but with more noticeable advantages toward each state's respective defending party.

Alabama

Six-term Republican Richard Shelby was re-elected in 2016 with 64% of the vote. On February 8, 2021, Shelby announced that he will not seek re-election to a seventh term.[147] Just weeks later, Lynda Blanchard, who served as Donald Trump's ambassador to Slovenia, announced that she would be running. On March 22, 2021, six-term Republican representative Mo Brooks, who was the first Republican to announce that he would vote against the certification of Joe Biden's election win on January 6, has announced that he will also be running. Several months later, Katie Britt, a former Chief of Staff to Shelby, announced she would run as well. [148]

Alaska

Three-term Republican Lisa Murkowski was re-elected in 2016 with 44.4% of the vote. Former governor and vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is considering a primary challenge to Murkowski,[149] as are others. Alaska adopted a top-four jungle primary system in 2020, with the ultimate winner being decided via ranked-choice voting. Characterizations of the state as a "Safe" or "Solid" Republican stronghold may change if Murkowski decides to change her party affiliation to Independent as she has suggested after the Capitol Riot. If she does so, she would most likely continue to caucus with Republicans in the Senate.[150] On March 30, Former Alaska Department of Administration Commissioner Kelly Tshibaka announced that she was running against Murkowski following the state's GOP decision to censure her, with Tshibaka later receiving former President Donald Trump’s endorsement. [151] Orthopedic surgeon, commercial fisherman, and 2020 senate nominee Al Gross has expressed interest in running.[152]

Republican Governor Mike Dunleavy has announced that he will not run, opting to run for re-election[153]

Incumbent Democrat Mark Kelly took office on December 2, 2020 after winning a special election with 51.2% of the vote.

Six-term senator and 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain was re-elected to this seat in 2016. However, he died on August 25, 2018, and former U.S. Senator Jon Kyl was appointed to replace him. Kyl resigned at the end of 2018 and was succeeded by outgoing U.S. Representative Martha McSally, who lost the 2020 special election to complete the term.

Term-limited Republican governor Doug Ducey, has announced that he will not challenge Kelly in 2022.[154] Blake Masters, the chairman of the Thiel foundation, has announced his candidacy. Jim Lamon, chair of the solar power company Depcom, is running against Kelly as a Republican.[28] Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich has also announced his candidacy against Kelly. [155] Potential Republican candidates include US Representative Andy Biggs[156] and Arizona State Republican Party Chairwoman Kelli Ward. [157]

Arkansas

A fourth challenger, Corporate analyst Michael Deel has withdrawn from the race citing a lack of viability[162]

Dan Whitfield, who attempted to run as an independent for Arkansas' other U.S. Senate seat in 2020 but failed to meet the ballot access requirements,[163] is running as a Democrat, along with Natalie James, a real estate broker from Little Rock.[37] Former Pine Bluff city alderman Jack Foster is also running for the Democratic nomination.[164]

California

Incumbent Democrat Alex Padilla took office on January 20, 2021, after being appointed by California Governor Gavin Newsom. His appointment came as a result of the resignation of incumbent Democrat Kamala Harris, who resigned her seat on January 18, 2021, to take her seat as Vice President of the United States.

There will be two ballot items for the same seat: a general election, to fill the Class 3 seat beginning with the 118th United States Congress beginning on January 3, 2023, and a special election, to fill that seat for the final weeks of the 117th Congress. Democrat Alex Padilla was appointed to fill the vacancy created by Kamala Harris's election to the vice presidency, and he is seeking a full term.[1][165]

Colorado

Two-term Republican Marco Rubio was re-elected in 2016 with 52% of the vote. He announced on November 9, 2020, via Facebook, that he would be running for re-election.[170]

U.S. Representative Val Demings and former U.S. Representative Alan Grayson are running for the Democratic nomination.[42][45]

Other possible Democratic candidates include Representative Ted Deutch,[171] former Representatives Gwen Graham[172] and Debbie Mucarsel-Powell,[173] and State Senator Jason Pizzo.[174]

Former U.S. Representative David Jolly, who was previously a Republican but is now independent, is considering running.[175]

Ivanka Trump, daughter and former Senior Advisor to former President Donald Trump, was seen as a potential candidate to primary Rubio for the Republican nomination.[176] However, on February 18, 2021, it was confirmed that she would not seek the nomination.[177]

Georgia

Main article: 2022 United States Senate election in Georgia
See also: List of United States senators from Georgia and 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Georgia

Incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock won the 2020–2021 special election against incumbent Republican Kelly Loeffler to fill the remainder of former Sen. Johnny Isakson's term. (Isakson had resigned at the end of 2019, and Loeffler was appointed by Governor Brian Kemp following Isakson's resignation.) No candidate in the open election on November 3 received the 50% required by Georgia law to avoid a runoff, a type of election colloquially known as a "jungle primary"[178]—Warnock received just 32.9% of the vote—and so a runoff election between Warnock and Loeffler was held on January 5, 2021, which Warnock won with 51% of the vote.

Former Republican senator David Perdue, who lost his race to Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff in 2021, filed paperwork to run for this seat.[179] A week after filing the paperwork, however, Perdue announced that he would not pursue another race for the Senate.[180] Loeffler is considering running again. U.S. Representative Drew Ferguson has stated that he is seriously considering running.[181] Banking executive Latham Saddler is another Republican challenger.[182] On April 11, 2021, Former NFL player and Georgia native Herschel Walker also stated that he is considering a run against Warnock, despite currently residing in Texas. He has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump after his suggestion.[183] In August, Walker officially announced that he would launch his candidacy for Senate. [184] Former U.S. Representative Doug Collins considered running against Warnock, but on April 26, 2021, he announced that he would not do so and then he endorsed Gary Black.[185]

Other possible races

On June 26, 2020, the United States House of Representatives voted 232–180 to grant statehood to the District of Columbia,[261] but the bill, H.R. 51, failed in the Senate when the 116th Congress ended. On January 3, 2021, D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton reintroduced the bill at the start of the 117th Congress with a record 202 co-sponsors,[262] and on January 27, Senator Tom Carper of Delaware introduced a companion bill, S. 51, into the Senate with a record 38 co-sponsors.[263] Since the Democratic Party retained its control of the House in the November 2020 elections, they were able to pass the bill in a 216-208 vote.[264] The bill would add two seats to the Senate, both of which would probably be filled in special elections during the 2022 election cycle. The addition of these two seats, extremely likely to be won by Democrats,[265] would have a significant effect on the nationwide partisan battle for control of the Senate. However, despite narrowly regaining the Senate in 2020, the D.C. statehood bill may have to overcome a filibuster, which would make it unlikely to pass as some Democrats such as Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have indicated that they will not support ending the legislative filibuster. In addition, Manchin came out against the bill on April 30, 2021, likely ending its chances in the Senate in the 117th Congress.[266]

In addition, a referendum on Puerto Rico's status was held on November 3, 2020. A majority (52.52%) of voters chose statehood.[267] It is also plausible that the 117th Congress will grant statehood to Puerto Rico. The 2020 platforms of both the Democratic[268] and Republican parties[269] (identical to the 2016 Republican Party platform as the party's National Committee readopted it by a resolution on August 22, 2020) express support for Puerto Rico's right to determine the future of its status. Both seats would likely be filled also in special elections during the 2022 election cycle. Unlike the District of Columbia, the partisan lean of Puerto Rico is somewhat unclear. While Latino Americans of Puerto Rican descent tend to vote for Democrats, many argue that Puerto Rico's heavily Catholic population[270] will result in Puerto Rico agreeing with the Republican Party on many social issues like abortion, religion in schools, and same-sex marriage.[271] In addition, Puerto Rico's elected non-voting member of the House of Representatives, Jenniffer González, has served leadership positions in the Republican Party.

D.C.'s incumbent Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton is expected to run for the Senate if D.C. statehood happens.[272][273] The D.C. shadow senators are Democrats Mike Brown and Paul Strauss; their Puerto Rican counterparts are New Progressive (PNP) Republican Zoraida Buxó Santiago and PNP Democrat Melinda Romero Donnelly.
