The 2022 United States Senate elections will be held on November 8, 2022 (Election Day), 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, who were last elected in 2016, 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. Two special elections will also be held—in California, to fill the final weeks of Kamala Harris' term,[1] and in Oklahoma, to serve the four remaining years of Jim Inhofe's term.
Six Republican senators, Richard Shelby (Alabama), Roy Blunt (Missouri), Richard Burr (North Carolina), Rob Portman (Ohio), Jim Inhofe (Oklahoma), Pat Toomey (Pennsylvania), as well as one Democratic senator, Patrick Leahy (Vermont), have announced that they are not seeking re-election; 15 Republicans and 13 Democrats are running for re-election.
Numerous other federal, state, and local elections, including the 2022 House elections, will also be held on this date. The winners of these elections will serve beginning in the 118th United States Congress. Democrats have held a majority in the Senate since January 20, 2021, following the party's twin victories in the runoffs for Georgia's regularly-scheduled and special 2020 Senate elections, and the inauguration of Democrat Kamala Harris as vice president. There are 48 Democratic senators and two independent senators who caucus with them; with Harris' tie-breaking vote, the Democrats hold an effective 51-seat majority in the chamber.
This will be the first time in U.S. history in which multiple Senate races in the same year are contested between two African-American nominees (Georgia and South Carolina). Three previous elections[c] have taken place with two major-party African-American candidates.

In contrast to 2018, when 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 Republicans are defending two seats (Wisconsin and Pennsylvania) in states President Joe Biden won in 2020, compared to one seat (Nevada) in a state that Hillary Clinton won in 2016 and was held by Republicans.
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.

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 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

Six-term Republican Richard Shelby was re-elected in 2016 with 64% of the vote. On February 8, 2021, Shelby announced that he would not seek re-election to a seventh term.[61]
Katie Britt, Shelby's former Chief of Staff,[62] defeated six-term U.S. representative Mo Brooks in the runoff Republican primary election. Britt and Brooks defeated businesswoman Karla DuPriest, former Army pilot and author Michael Durant and author Jake Schafer in the initial primary election.[63]
Perennial candidate Will Boyd[64] defeated former Brighton mayor Brandaun Dean[65] and Lanny Jackson[66][67] in the Democratic primary.

Three-term Republican Lisa Murkowski was re-elected in 2016 with 44.4% of the vote. Alaska adopted a top-four jungle primary system through the passage of a ballot initiative 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 suggested after the Capitol attack. If she does so, she would most likely continue to caucus with Republicans in the Senate.[68] 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.[69] Republican Governor Mike Dunleavy has announced that he will not run, opting to run for re-election.[70]
Murkowski and Tshibaka advanced to the general election, along with fellow Republican Buzz Kelley and leading Democratic candidate Pat Chesboro.[71] Kelley suspended his campaign in September and endorsed Tshibaka, although he will still remain on the ballot.[72]

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.
In the Republican primary, Blake Masters, the chairman of the Thiel foundation, defeated Jim Lamon, chair of the solar power company Depcom,[73] and Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich.[74]

Two-term Republican John Boozman was re-elected in 2016 with 59.8% of the vote. Boozman has announced that he is running for a third term.[75]
Boozman defeated former NFL player and U.S. Army veteran Jake Bequette, gun range owner and 2018 gubernatorial candidate Jan Morgan, and pastor Heath Loftis in the Republican primary.[76][77][78][79] A fourth challenger, corporate analyst Michael Deel withdrew prior to the primary election citing a lack of viability.[80]
Natalie James, a real estate broker from Little Rock,[81] defeated 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,[82] and former Pine Bluff City alderman Jack Foster for the Democratic nomination.[83]

Incumbent Democrat Alex Padilla took office on January 20, 2021. He was appointed by Governor Gavin Newsom following the resignation of incumbent Democrat Kamala Harris on January 18, 2021, in advance of her swearing-in as Vice President of the United States.[84]
Due to a rule change, there will be two ballot items for the same seat: a general election, to elect a Class 3 Senator to a full term beginning with the 118th United States Congress, sworn in on January 3, 2023, and a special election, to fill that seat for the final weeks of the 117th Congress. Padilla is running to fill the seat for the remainder of the current term, and for election to a full term,[1] and the Republican nominee is attorney Mark Meuser.

Two-term Democrat Michael Bennet took office on January 21, 2009, after being appointed by then Colorado Governor Bill Ritter to replace outgoing Democrat Ken Salazar, who was nominated by President Barack Obama to serve as United States Secretary of the Interior. He has narrowly won reelection bids, in 2010 to his first full term, with 48.08% of the vote, and, in 2016 to his second, with 49.97% of the vote.
In the Republican primary, construction company owner Joe O'Dea defeated state representative Ron Hanks.[85][86]

U.S. representative Val Demings is the Democratic nominee.[89]
Ivanka Trump, daughter and former Senior Advisor to former President Donald Trump, was seen as a potential candidate to challenge Rubio for the Republican nomination.[90] However, on February 18, 2021, it was confirmed that she would not seek the nomination.[91]

Incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock won the 2020–2021 special election against incumbent Republican Kelly Loeffler to fill the remainder of former senator Johnny Isakson's term. Isakson had resigned at the end of 2019 due to health problems, 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 run-off, a type of election colloquially known as a "jungle primary"[92]—Warnock received just 32.9% of the vote—and so, a run-off election between Warnock and Loeffler was held on January 5, 2021, which Warnock won with 51% of the vote.
