2022 United States Senate elections

All 34 Class 3 senators are up for election in 2022; Class 3 currently consists of 12 Democrats and 22 Republicans. If vacancies occur in Class 1 or Class 2 Senate seats, that state might require a special election to take place during the 118th Congress, possibly concurrently with the other 2022 Senate elections.

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.

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.

Six-term Republican incumbent Richard Shelby was re-elected in 2016.

Three-term Republican incumbent Lisa Murkowski was re-elected in 2016. Former governor and vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and Fox News host Laura Ingraham are considering primary challenges to Murkowski.[7]

The incumbent for the 2022 election will be determined by a 2020 special election. Six-term senator and Republican presidential nominee in 2008 John McCain was re-elected in 2016. However, McCain died on August 25, 2018, and was immediately replaced by Jon Kyl, who resigned at the end of 2018. Kyl was succeeded by Martha McSally, who will hold the seat for two years. A 2020 special election will determine who will hold the seat for the final two years. The winner of this special election will be the incumbent for the 2022 election and will likely run for a full term.
