The United States Senate elections will be held on November 6, 2018. Thirty-four of the 100 Senate seats are up for reelection. The winners of those seats will serve a six-year term from January 3, 2019, until January 3, 2025.

 

Elections to the Senate are staggered over even years so that only about 1/3 of the Senate is up for reelection during any election.

The Republicans will be defending just 9 seats, while the Democrats will be fighting for 23 — plus another 2 held by independents who caucus with Democrats.

 

Democrats are expected to target the Senate seats in Nevada, Arizona, and Texas.

 

Republicans are expected to target Democratic-held seats in Indiana, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, West Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, all of which voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 election. Republicans will also likely target seats in Virginia, Maine, and New Jersey.
