Held on November 4, in the middle of Ronald Reagan's second presidential term, the 34 seats of Class 3 were contested in regular elections. The Republicans had to defend an unusually large number of freshman Senate incumbents who had been elected on President Ronald Reagan's coattails in 1980. Democrats won a net of eight seats, defeating seven freshman incumbents, picking up two Republican-held open seats, and regaining control of the Senate for the first time since January 1981. This remains the most recent midterm election cycle in which the sitting president's party suffered net losses while still flipping a Senate seat. Democrats gained a net eight seats, and recaptured control of the Senate from the Republicans with a 55–45 majority. They defeated seven incumbents, all but one of whom had been elected in 1980, and gained open seats held by retiring Republicans in Maryland and Nevada. Republicans gained one open seat in Missouri. Bob Dole (R-Kansas) and Robert Byrd (D-West Virginia) exchanged positions as the Majority Leader and the Minority Leader. However, the Democratic majority would be reduced to 54-46 following the March 1987 death of Democrat Edward Zorinsky, who was then replaced with a Republican. This was the last election cycle until 2016 in which the Democrats had a net gain in the Class 3 seats.This does not include special elections held in off-year elections in some states to fill the seats that had been vacated by senators due to death, resignation, or otherwise.

At the time of this announcement, it was expected that then-Governor Harry Hughes would run for the seat being vacated by retiring Senator Mathias. However, Hughes became caught up in the aftermath of the Maryland savings and loan crisis. He lost popularity with voters, opening the door for Mikulski's bid for the Senate. Congresswoman Barbara Mikulski received the Democratic nomination over fellow Congressman Michael D. Barnes and governor Harry Hughes, the last of whom finished third. Mikulski had previously run for the seat in 1974. Chavez won the primary handily, defeating several Republican challengers. Later, she made comments that some Mikulski supporters interpreted as an attempt to draw attention to the issue of Mikulski's sexual orientation. In an article quoting Chavez's claim that Mikulski was a "San Francisco-style, George McGovern, liberal Democrat", The Washington Post reported that Chavez was directly implying that the never-married Mikulski was a lesbian.January 2010 Chavez was accused of making Mikulski's sexual orientation a central issue of the political campaign. In defending her use of the phrase, Chavez stated the line "San Francisco Democrats" was a reference to Jeane Kirkpatrick's 1984 Republican National Convention "Blame America First" speech, in which Kirkpatrick coined the phrase "San Francisco Liberal."January 2010. The phrase "San Francisco liberal" was common at the time. Mikulski eventually won the race with 61 percent of the vote. She was the first female Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate in her own right (not appointed or filling a seat of a deceased husband). No Republican since Mathias has represented Maryland in the U.S. Senate.

Incumbent Republican Jim Broyhill, who had been appointed in June 1986 to serve out the rest of John Porter East's term, faced off against the popular Democratic former Governor Terry Sanford. There were two separate elections held on the same day: a special election for what little remained of the 99th United States Congress (November 1986 – January 1987) and a regular election for a new six-year term (beginning in January 1987).Advisory Opinion of the Federal Election Commission http://saos.fec.gov/aodocs/1986-31.pdf December 20, 2017 Sanford won both elections.

December 20, 1986 Democrats' Hopes up in Carolina Senate Race The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/1986/01/19/us/democrats-hopes-up-in-carolina-senate-race.html December 20, 2017 Former North Carolina Secretary of Commerce Lauch Faircloth then made it known that he would run, but he was considered too conservative by many party leaders, who encouraged Sanford to enter the race in order to defeat Faircloth. Sanford agreed to run, which led Faircloth and another candidate, Judge Marvin K. Blount Jr., to withdraw before filing their candidacies. Six years later, Faircloth did run for the Senate against Sanford, but this time as a Republican. Sen. East declined to run for a second term, citing his health. Longtime U.S. Representative Jim Broyhill entered the race with much of the establishment support, but David Funderburk had the backing of the organization of Senator Jesse Helms. Funderburk charged Broyhill with being insufficiently conservative, but in the end, Broyhill won the nomination handily in the May primary. The next month, Sen. East committed suicide, and Gov. James G. Martin appointed Broyhill to his seat. Sanford narrowly defeated incumbent Broyhill on both election ballots, though he received a slightly smaller margin of victory to finish the remainder of East's term due to a lower turnout. 1986 North Carolina U.S. Senate Democratic primary electionOur Campaigns - NC US Senate - D Primary Race - May 06, 1986 http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=132134 December 20, 2017 www.ourcampaigns.com Democratic Party (United States) Terry Sanford 409,394 60.25% Democratic Party (United States) John Ingram 111,557 16.42% Democratic Party (United States) Fountain Odom 49,689 7.31% Democratic Party (United States) William Belk 33,821 4.98% Democratic Party (United States) Theodore Kinney 27,228 4.01% Democratic Party (United States) Betty Wallace 17,001 2.50% Democratic Party (United States) Katherine Harper 12,998 1.91% Democratic Party (United States) Walt Atkins 8,306 1.22% Democratic Party (United States) Others 9,493 1.40% 679,487 1986 North Carolina U.S. Senate Republican primary electionOur Campaigns - NC US Senate - R Primary Race - May 06, 1986 http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=78951 December 20, 2017 www.ourcampaigns.com Republican Party (United States) Jim Broyhill (incumbent) 139,570 66.52% Republican Party (United States) David Funderburk 63,593 30.31% Republican Party (United States) Frazier Glenn Miller Jr. 6,662 3.18% 148,574 1986 North Carolina U.S. Senate electionOur Campaigns - NC US Senate Race - Nov 04, 1986 http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=3679 December 20, 2017 www.ourcampaigns.com Democratic Party (United States) Terry Sanford 823,662 51.76% +2.38% Republican Party (United States) Jim Broyhill (Incumbent) 767,668 48.24% −1.72% 55,994 3.54% 1,591,330 Democratic Party (United States) Republican Party (United States) North Carolina (special) North Carolina special election North Carolina presidential no 1980 United States Senate election in North Carolina 1980 1992 United States Senate election in North Carolina 1992 1885 125x136px Terry Sanford.jpg Terry Sanford Democratic Party (United States) 780,967 50.88% James Broyhill.jpg Jim Broyhill Republican Party (United States) 753,881 49.12% 1986 United States Senate special election in North Carolina results map by county.svg County resultsSanford: #7996e2 50–60% #6674de 60–70% #584cde 70–80%Broyhill: #e27f7f 50–60% #d75d5d 60–70% #d72f30 70–80% U.S. Senator Jim Broyhill Republican Party (United States) Terry Sanford Democratic Party (United States) This was a special election for what little remained of the 99th United States Congress (November 1986 – January 1987), being held contemporaneously with a regular election for a new six-year term (beginning in January 1987). 1986 North Carolina U.S. Senate election – Special electionOur Campaigns - NC US Senate Special Election Race - Nov 04, 1986 http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=78950 December 20, 2017 www.ourcampaigns.com Democratic Party (United States) Terry Sanford 780,967 50.88% Republican Party (United States) Jim Broyhill (Incumbent) 753,881 49.12% 27,086 1.76% 1,534,875 Democratic Party (United States) Republican Party (United States) North Dakota North Dakota election North Dakota presidential no 1980 United States Senate election in North Dakota 1980 1992 United States Senate election in North Dakota 1992 125x136px Kent Conrad.jpg Kent Conrad Democratic Party (United States) 143,932 49.8% Mark_Andrews,_US_Senator_from_North_Dakota.jpg Mark Andrews Republican Party (United States) 141,812 49.1% File:1986 United States Senate election in North Dakota results map by county.svg 250px County resultsConrad: #a5b0ff 40–50% #7996e2 50–60% #6674de 60–70% Andrews: #ffb2b2 40–50% #e27f7f 50–60% U.S. Senator Mark Andrews Republican Party (United States) Kent Conrad Democratic Party (United States) 1986 United States Senate election in North Dakota List of United States senators from North Dakota Incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Mark Andrews lost re-election to a second term to Dem-NPL nominee Kent Conrad, State Tax Commissioner.

Additionally, economic woes had dragged down the popularity of Republican candidates in the industrial states. Don Bailey, the state's incumbent Auditor General, who projected a strong blue collar image and had moderate positions that were often relatively close to Specter's, and Edgar, a Methodist minister and sitting Congressman, who had more liberal viewpoints and was with the Vietnam War-era peace movement and anti-corruption movement following the Watergate scandals, ran for the Democratic nomination.Stevens William K. 1986-05-22 STIFF CHALLENGE SEEN IN PENNSYLVANIA SENATE RACE The New York Times https://www.nytimes.com/1986/05/22/us/stiff-challenge-seen-in-pennsylvania-senate-race.html 2022-02-23 0362-4331 However, issues played a very minor role in the primary, which instead showcased the state's geographical divide, with Delaware County-based Edgar narrowly defeating Westmoreland County-based Bailey.Kennedy John J. https://books.google.com/books?id=1J_9q-lIWRkC&q=specter+edgar&pg=PA66 Pennsylvania Elections: Statewide Contests from 1950-2004 2006 United Press of America 9780761832799 65–67 Specter defeated Edgar in the general election by nearly 13% of the vote.

However, Snelling was felt to be at a disadvantage for several reasons, including the fact that his main campaign plank was deficit reduction, which The Caledonian-Record noted Leahy was already a well-known advocate for, and the fact that Leahy had acquired a reputation as one of the Senate's most knowledgeable figures on the issue of nuclear proliferation, an issue which the Brattleboro Reformer noted that Snelling had no experience with.1985-10-28 Diverse Opinions 9 Rutland Daily Herald https://www.newspapers.com/clip/92951900/diverse-opinions/ 2022-02-23 Nonetheless, Leahy defeated Snelling in a 63%-35% landslide.
