A total of 36 seats in the 100-member U.S. Senate were contested. There were 33 Class 2 seats contested for regular six-year terms to be served from January 3, 2015, to January 3, 2021, and three Class 3 seats were contested in special elections due to Senate vacancies. The elections marked 100 years of direct elections of U.S. senators. Going into the elections, 21 of the contested seats were held by the Democratic Party, while 15 were held by the Republican Party. The Republicans regained the majority of the Senate in the 114th Congress, which started in January 2015; the Republicans had not controlled the Senate since January 2007. They needed a net gain of at least six seats to obtain a majority and were projected by polls to do so. On election night, they held all of their seats and gained nine Democratic-held seats. Republicans defeated five Democratic incumbents: Mark Begich of Alaska lost to Dan Sullivan, Mark Pryor of Arkansas lost to Tom Cotton, Mark Udall of Colorado lost to Cory Gardner, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana lost to Bill Cassidy, and Kay Hagan of North Carolina lost to Thom Tillis. Republicans also picked up another 4 open seats in Iowa, Montana, South Dakota, and West Virginia that were previously held by Democrats. Democrats did not pick up any Republican-held seats, but they did hold an open seat in Michigan. This was the most recent time that any party lost control of the Senate in a midterm election cycle. With a net gain of nine seats, the Republicans made the largest Senate gain by any party since 1980. This is also the first election cycle since 1980 in which more than two incumbent Democratic senators were defeated by their Republican challengers.Klein Ezra Democrats sat out the 2014 midterms and lost the Supreme Court for a generation https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/6/26/17506054/anthony-kennedy-retirement-supreme-court Vox June 26, 2018 Vox Media, LLC 18 May 2021 Days after the election cycle, the United States Election Project estimated that 36.4% of eligible voters voted, 4% lower than the 2010 elections, and possibly the lowest turnout rate since the 1942 election cycle.Cook Lindsay November 5, 2014 Midterm Turnout Down in 2014 U.S. News & World Report https://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/data-mine/2014/11/05/midterm-turnout-decreased-in-all-but-12-states November 7, 2014Camia Catalina November 6, 2014 Voter turnout could be lowest since World War II USA Today http://onpolitics.usatoday.com/2014/11/06/voter-turnout-2014-elections November 7, 2014 This remains the most recent time that a Republican has won a U.S. Senate election in Colorado, that the president's party has suffered a net loss of Senate seats in a midterm election cycle, and that an incumbent senator was reelected unopposed. Partisan composition For a majority, Republicans needed at least 51 seats. Democrats could have retained a majority with 48 seats (assuming the two Independents continued to caucus with them) because the Democratic Vice President Joe Biden would become the tie-breaker.

By midnight ET, most major networks projected that the Republicans would take control of the Senate. The party held all three competitive Republican-held seats (Kentucky, Kansas, and Georgia), and defeated incumbent Democrats in North Carolina, Colorado, and Arkansas. Combined with the pick-ups of open seats in Iowa, Montana, South Dakota, and West Virginia, the Republicans made a net gain of 7 seats before the end of the night. Republicans defeated three incumbent Democrats, a task the party had not accomplished since the 1980 election cycle.Kondik Kyle July 17, 2014 The Hidden Barrier to a Republican Senate Majority Sabato's Crystal Ball http://www.centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/articles/the-hidden-barrier-to-a-republican-senate-majority July 18, 2014 Five of the seven confirmed pickups were in states that voted for Mitt Romney in 2012, but two of the seats that Republicans won represent states that voted for Barack Obama in 2012 (Colorado and Iowa). Of the three races that were not called by the end of election night, Alaska and Virginia were still too close to call, while Louisiana held a December 6 runoff election. Virginia declared incumbent Democrat Mark Warner the winner of his race by a narrow margin over Republican Ed Gillespie on November 7, and Alaska declared Dan Sullivan the winner against Democratic incumbent Mark Begich on November 12. Republican Bill Cassidy defeated Democratic incumbent Mary Landrieu in the Louisiana runoff on December 6.Jaffe Alexandra 2014-12-07 Mary Landrieu swept away by red tide as GOP picks up 9th seat CNN Politics https://www.cnn.com/2014/12/06/politics/louisiana-senate-runoff-results/index.html 2025-05-09 CNN en Election spending Altogether, at least $3.67 billion was spent by candidates, parties, committees and outside groups in the 2014 election cycle.Chris Cillizza, The 2014 election cost $3.7 billion. We spend twice that much on Halloween., Washington Post (November 6, 2014).Overall Spending Inches Up in 2014: Megadonors Equip Outside Groups to Capture a Bigger Share of the Pie, OpenSecrets (October 29, 2014). Spending on the 2014 Senate elections by outside groups (i.e., organizations other than a candidate's campaign, such as super PACs and "dark money" nonprofit groups) more than doubled from 2010. In the 10 competitive races for which data were available, outside groups accounted for 47% of spending, candidates accounted for 41% of spending, and parties accounted for 12% of spending.Ian Vandewalker, Election Spending 2014: Outside Spending in Senate Races Since Citizens United, Brennan Center for Justice (2015). The Senate race with the most outside spending was in North Carolina, at $80 million, a new record. The top outside spenders in the 11 most competitive Senate races were the following: On the Republican side, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Crossroads GPS, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Ending Spending Action Fund, Freedom Partners Action Fund, American Crossroads, and the NRA Political Victory Fund. On the Democratic side, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, Senate Majority PAC, and NextGen Climate Action Committee.
