2020 Senate Elections: Actual Results

35 seats were contested in 2020

Note: As of December 2, 2020, the Senate was 52-48 Republican, as Arizona special election winner Mark Kelly (D) was seated. While this page is meant to reflect the Senate composition leading into the 2020 election, we’ve temporarily updated the map for this change.

Results for the 35 Senate seats contested in 2020. Prior to the election, Republicans held 53 seats, Democrats 45. Two independents caucus with the Democrats.

The elections yielded a 50-50 Senate. With a Democratic vice president to break ties as of January 20, that party will have control of the chamber.
