Known. This election marks the Largest Senate gains for a president s party in a first Midterm Election since at least president kennedys in 1962.

As of now we picked up, it looks like, three, could be four, perhaps it could be two. But we picked up a lot. And most likely the number will be three.

In the last 80 years a sitting president s party has only gained a cumulative total of

In president s Midterm Election he lost six senate seats including in the deep blue state of massachusetts. Republicans captured at least
