Because the Clinton administration remained in office until January 20th 2001, Democrats briefly gained control of the Senate from the Republicans for a few weeks, effectively making Tom Daschle majority leader during that time. When the George W. Bush administration assumed office, the Republican Party regained control of the Senate as a result of the 2000 United States presidential election. Later in mid-2001, Vermont senator Jim Jeffords became an independent and caucused with the Democrats, allowing them to again gain control of the Senate with Daschle again becoming the Senate majority leader until early 2003 after Republican won control of the upper chamber in the 2002 United States Senate elections. Republican Party (United States) The 2000 United States Senate elections were held on November 7, 2000. The elections coincided with other federal and state elections, including the presidential election which was won by Republican George W. Bush. These elections took place 6 years after Republicans had won a net gain of eight seats in Senate Class 1. Despite George W. Bush's victory in the presidential election, the Republicans lost four senate seats, the most a winning president's party has lost since the passage of the 17th Amendment in 1913. This election marked the first election year since 1990 where Democrats made net gains in the Senate. Democrats defeated incumbent Republicans in Delaware, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, and Washington, and they won an open Republican-held seat in Florida. In Missouri, the winner was elected posthumously. The Republicans defeated Democratic incumbent Chuck Robb in Virginia, and won an open seat in Nevada. Additionally, Republican Senator Paul Coverdell of Georgia died earlier in the year and was replaced by Democratic appointee Zell Miller, who then went on to win the special election. These elections resulted in an equal 50–50 split between Republicans and Democrats, with the Vice President casting the tie-breaking votes in the Senate. This was the second tied Senate, after the results in the 1880 elections. Democrats thereby technically won control of the Senate briefly from the Republicans but for only 17 days, since Democrat Al Gore was still Vice President and President of the Senate at the beginning of the new congressional term that started on January 3, 2001, and would remain so until the new Republican Vice President and President of the Senate Dick Cheney would be inaugurated on Inauguration Day on January 20, 2001, reestablishing the Republican majority. However, the Republican majority would only last until June 6, 2001, when Liberal Republican Senator Jim Jeffords of Vermont left the Republican Party and became an independent, deciding to caucus with the Democrats, switching control again to the Democrats. Democrats would lose their majority in the Senate again, being reduced to a plurality, after the death of Democratic Minnesota Senator Paul Wellstone, before Republicans would once more and finally regain the majority in the Senate again after Republican Jim Talent won the 2002 United States Senate special election in Missouri, but since the election was held close to the end of the congressional term, Democrats would technically maintain control of the Senate before the new one started. Republicans were able to firmly establish their majority in the 2002 midterm elections, and Democrats would not regain control of the Senate again until the 2006 midterm elections.Jeffords Leaves Republican Party https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/politics-jan-june01-jeffords_05-24 March 14, 2025 PBS May 24, 2001 Until 2020, this was the last time that Democrats would win a Senate seat in Georgia. This is the last election cycle with only Republicans and Democrats in the Senate, and the last election cycle in which Republicans won seats in Rhode Island and Vermont.

Bush, Lieberman returned to the Senate and remained there for another 13 years, when he retired. Had the Gore–Lieberman ticket won, Lieberman would have become U.S. Vice President and forced to resign his Senate seat, which would have led to a 2002 special election.

For 16 years the same four people had held the four major statewide positions. Because of term limits on the Governor's position Thomas Carper could not run again. Both he and U.S. Representative Michael Castle wanted to be U.S. senator. Roth would not retire, and fellow Republican Castle decided against a primary. Roth, 79, was in the U.S. Senate for 30 years. He was the Chairman of the Finance Committee. Carper, 53, was a popular Governor and former U.S. Congressman of Delaware's At-large congressional district, who announced his major candidacy against Roth back in September 1999.https://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/stories/1999/09/21/senate.2000/delaware.senate/index.html?_s=PM:ALLPOLITICS Delaware governor to challenge Roth - CNN CNN 2017-11-08 https://web.archive.org/web/20121003081751/http://articles.cnn.com/1999-09-21/politics/senate.2000_delaware.senate_1_delaware-governor-sixth-senate-term-delaware-residents?_s=PM:ALLPOLITICS 2012-10-03 live Both candidates were moderates.

Carper defeated Roth by over ten points. However, Roth received more votes than Presidential candidate George W. Bush, suggesting the strength of the Democratic turnout was a boon to Carper's candidacy and a key element of his victory. Many consider Roth's defeat due to his age and health, as he collapsed twice during the campaign, once in the middle of a television interview and once during a campaign event.Gorenstein Nathan 2000-11-08 In Delaware, Gov.

Mattingly said he would vote for Texas Governor George W. Bush for president, who was very popular in the state and led Vice President Al Gore in many Georgia polls.

Stabenow was also likely helped by the fact that Al Gore won Michigan on the presidential level. Ultimately, Stabenow pulled out huge numbers of the Democratic stronghold of Wayne County, which covers the Detroit Metropolitan Area. Stabenow also performed well in other heavily populated areas such as Ingham County home to the state's capital of Lansing, and the college town of Ann Arbor. Abraham did not concede right after major news networks declared Stabenow the winner; He held out hope that the few outstanding precincts could push him over the edge. At 4:00 am, Abraham conceded defeat. Senator Abraham called Stabenow and congratulated her on her victory.

Schweitzer had his polls go up by 11 points. Burns faced a surprisingly difficult re-election campaign in 2000. In February 1999, he announced that he would break his 1988 promise to only hold office for two terms, claiming "Circumstances have changed, and I have rethought my position."George Will, "...Terms Unlimited", The Washington Post, June 24, 1999. Later that same month, while giving a speech about U.S. dependence on foreign oil to the Montana Equipment Dealers Association, he referred to Arabs as "ragheads". Burns soon apologized, saying he "became too emotionally involved" during the speech.Al Kamen, "Burns's A List: African Americans, Arabs", The Washington Post, March 12, 1999. Burns faced Brian Schweitzer, a rancher from Whitefish, Montana. While Burns attempted to link Schweitzer with presidential candidate Al Gore, whom Schweitzer never met, Schweitzer "effectively portrayed himself as nonpolitical".Michael Barone, The Almanac of American Politics 2004, National Journal Group. Schweitzer primarily challenged Burns on the issue of prescription drugs, organizing busloads of senior citizens to take trips to Canada and Mexico for cheaper medicine.William Booth, "Mont. Rancher Mounts Brawny Challenge; Crusty GOP Incumbent Finds Race Tightening Against an Equally Rough-Hewn Opponent", The Washington Post, October 31, 2000. Burns charged that Schweitzer favored "Canadian-style government controls" and claimed that senior citizens went to doctors to have "somebody to visit with. There's nothing wrong with them." Burns also faced trouble regarding deaths from asbestos in Libby, Montana. While he initially supported a bill to limit compensation in such cases, he withdrew his support for the bill, under public criticism, and added $11.5 million for the town to an appropriations bill.Al Kamen, "Town Getting $ 11 Million in Salve From Burns", The Washington Post, May 12, 2000. Burns spent twice as much money as Schweitzer on the election and only defeated him by a slim margin, 51-47 percent, while the state voted 58-33 percent for Republican presidential nominee George W. Bush. Schweitzer went on to become governor in 2004.

The Democratic nominee, former CEO of Goldman Sachs Jon Corzine, defeated the Republican nominee, U.S. Representative Bob Franks, in a close election. Senator Lautenberg, first elected to the Senate in 1982 in an upset victory over Rep. Millicent Fenwick (R-Bergen), had always been an underdog in all three bids for Senate. He beat Pete Dawkins in 1988 by a 54%-46% margin and held back a challenge from Chuck Haytaian by a smaller margin of 50%-47%. However, popular Governor Christine Todd Whitman was expected to challenge Lautenberg, and opinion polls showed Lautenberg losing by a large margin. He retired but later regretted his decision because Gov. Whitman and Former Governor Tom Kean both declined to run for the Senate. Lautenberg would be elected to the state's other Senate Seat in 2002.

Governor Florio was unpopular during his tenure in office. Most notably, he signed a $2.8 Billion tax increase in 1990. It caused his party to lose control of the state government for a decade, and cost the Governor his re-election bid in 1993. Corzine, running as an outsider, was endorsed by State senator Raymond Zane (D-Gloucester), State senator Wayne Bryant (D-Camden), State senator John Adler (D-Camden), U.S. Representative Bob Menendez (D-Hudson) and U.S. senator Bob Torricelli (D-NJ). Florio was endorsed by the State Party, Assemblyman Joe Doria (D-Hudson) and senator John Lynch (D-Middlesex).

The general election coincided with the U.S. presidential election. The race began in November 1998 when four-term incumbent Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D) announced his retirement. Both the Democratic Party and Republican Party sought high-profile candidates to compete for the open seat. By early 1999 Clinton and Mayor of New York City Rudolph Giuliani were the likely respective nominees. Clinton and her husband, President Bill Clinton, purchased a house in Chappaqua, New York, in September 1999; she thereby became eligible for the election, although she faced characterizations of carpetbagging since she had never resided in the state before. The lead in statewide polls swung from Clinton to Giuliani and back to Clinton as the campaigns featured both successful strategies and mistakes as well as dealing with current events. In late April and May 2000, Giuliani's medical, romantic, marital, and political lives all collided in a tumultuous four-week period, culminating in his withdrawing from the race on May 19. The Republicans chose lesser-known Congressman Rick Lazio to replace him. The election included a record $90 million in campaign expenditures between Clinton, Lazio, and Giuliani and national visibility. Clinton showed strength in normally Republican upstate areas and a debate blunder by Lazio solidified Clinton's previously shaky support among women.

Lazio was on the warpath against soft money and the amounts of it coming from the Democratic National Committee into Clinton's campaign, and challenged Clinton to agree to ban soft money from both campaigns. He left his podium and waved his proposed paper agreement in Clinton's face;Gerth, Van Natta Jr., Her Way, pp. 212–213. many debate viewers thought he had invaded her personal spacehttp://www.salon.com/news/feature/2007/11/27/rudy_hillary/ When Rudy Met Hillary Rob Polner Salon November 27, 2007 February 22, 2008 and as a result Clinton's support among women voters solidified. Late in the campaign Lazio criticised Clinton for accepting campaign donations from various Arab groups in the wake of the Cole DDG-67 6 attack. This issue caused former New York Mayor Ed Koch to take out ads telling Lazio to "stop with the sleaze already", and did not change the dynamic of the race. thumb|193px|right|Having won the election, Clinton is sworn in as the junior senator from New York, January 3, 2001.

The contest began for Democrats with a brutal primary challenge; U.S. Congressman Klink narrowly bested State senator Allyson Schwartz and former Lieutenant Governor nominee Tom Foley by running on the message that he was the only candidate capable of defeating the Republican. Klink was viewed as a viable choice because he was a traditional Democrat on most issues and had strong union ties but also was pro-life, which Democrats hoped would return votes to their party in the heavily Catholic but economically liberal coal regions of the state. However, enthusiasm around Klink's campaign quickly waned. Liberal Democrats, particularly in the Philadelphia area, balked at donating to a socially conservative candidate who was almost unknown in their area. He was also badly outspent, leaving him unable to expand his presence in the state; he didn't run a single ad on Philadelphia television. Santorum, in contrast, successfully balanced his national recognition on social issues with local concerns en route to a surprisingly large victory.https://books.google.com/books?id=1J_9q-lIWRkC&q=santorum&pg=PA112 Pennsylvania Elections: Statewide Contests from 1950-2004 2017-12-20 9780761832799 Kennedy John J. 2006 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC General election Republican Party (US) Rick Santorum (Incumbent) 2,481,962 52.4 +3.0% Democratic Party (US) Ron Klink 2,154,908 45.5 -8.6% Libertarian Party (US) John Featherman 45,775 1.0 -0.7% Constitution Party (US) Lester Searer 28,382 0.6 +0.6% Reform Party (US) Robert Domske 24,089 0.5 +0.5% 327,054 6.9 +4.4% 4,735,116 100 Rhode Island Rhode Island election Rhode Island presidential no 1994 United States Senate election in Rhode Island 1994 2006 United States Senate election in Rhode Island 2006 x136px Lincoln Chafee official portrait.jpg Lincoln Chafee Republican Party (US) 222,588 56.88% Bob Weygand.jpg Robert Weygand Democratic Party (US) 161,023 41.15% 230px County results 230px Municipality results Chafee: #ffb2b2 40–50% #e27f7f 50–60% #d75d5d 60–70% #d72f30 70–80%Weygand: #7996e2 50–60% U.S. senator Lincoln Chafee Republican Party (US) Lincoln Chafee Republican Party (US) 2000 United States Senate election in Rhode Island List of United States senators from Rhode Island Incumbent Republican Lincoln Chafee was elected his first full term after being appointed in 1999 to fill the seat of his father, the previous Senator, John Chafee who died on October 24, 1999, a few months after the elder Chafee announced his retirement instead of seeking a fifth term.
