The 2022 United States Senate elections will be held on November 8, 2022, with 34 of the 100 seats in the Senate being contested in regular elections, the winners of which will serve six-year terms in the United States Congress from January 3, 2023, to January 3, 2029. Senators are divided into three groups, or classes, whose terms are staggered so that a different class is elected every two years. Class 3 senators were last elected in 2016, and will be up for election again in 2022.

All 34 Class 3 Senate seats are up for election in 2022; Class 3 currently consists of 14 Democrats and 20 Republicans. If a vacancy occurs, the corresponding state might require a special election to take place during the 117th Congress, possibly concurrently with the other 2022 Senate elections.

As of February 2021, four Republican senators have announced they are not seeking reelection, eight Republican senators are running for reelection, 11 Democratic senators are running for reelection, and no Democratic senators have announced plans for retirement.

Predictions

Several sites and individuals published predictions of competitive seats. These predictions looked at factors such as the strength of the incumbent (if the incumbent was running for reelection) and the other candidates, and the state's partisan lean (reflected in part by the state's Cook Partisan Voting Index rating). The predictions assigned ratings to each seat, indicating the predicted advantage that a party had in winning that seat. Most election predictors used:

  • "tossup": no advantage
  • "tilt" (used by some predictors): minimal, smallest advantage
  • "lean": slight advantage
  • "likely": significant, but surmountable, advantage
  • "safe" or "solid": near-certain chance of victory

Potentially competitive races

In contrast to 2018, where Democrats were defending 10 seats in states that Donald Trump won in 2016, Democrats hold no seats in any state won by Trump in 2020. The GOP is defending two seats (Wisconsin and Pennsylvania) in states President Joe Biden won in 2020, compared to just one seat (Nevada) won by Hillary Clinton that was up for grabs in 2018.

Election outlets currently rate North Carolina and Pennsylvania as the most likely tossup races. Arizona, Georgia, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Wisconsin are also rated as competitive, but with more noticeable advantages toward each state's respective defending party. In Iowa, the election, currently regarded as favored towards incumbent Chuck Grassley, could become competitive if he decides to retire.

Six-term Republican Richard Shelby was re-elected in 2016 with 64% of the vote. On February 8, 2021, Shelby announced that he will not seek re-election to a seventh term.[52]

Alaska

Three-term Republican Lisa Murkowski was re-elected in 2016 with 44.4% of the vote. Former governor and vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is considering a primary challenge to Murkowski,[53] as are others. Alaska adopted a top-four jungle primary system in 2020, with the ultimate winner being decided via ranked-choice voting. Characterizations of the state as a "Safe" or "Solid" Republican stronghold may change if Murkowski decides to change her party affiliation to Independent as she has suggested after the Capitol insurrection. If she does so, she would most likely continue to caucus with Republicans in the Senate.[54]

Arizona

See also: List of United States senators from Arizona and 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Arizona

Incumbent Democrat Mark Kelly was elected in a 2020 special election with 51.2% of the vote.

Six-term senator and 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain was re-elected to this seat in 2016. However, he died on August 25, 2018, and former U.S. Senator Jon Kyl was appointed to replace him. Kyl resigned at the end of 2018 and was succeeded by outgoing U.S. Representative Martha McSally, who lost the 2020 special election to complete the term.

Republican governor Doug Ducey, who is term-limited, has said he will not run for Senate in 2022.[55]

Arkansas

Main article: 2022 United States Senate election in Arkansas
See also: List of United States senators from Arkansas and 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Arkansas

Two-term Republican John Boozman was re-elected in 2016 with 59.8% of the vote. Boozman has not publicly announced plans to run for a third term, but has filed a formal Statement of Candidacy with the Federal Election Commission[56] and confirmed to CNN that he is running.[57] Dan Whitfield, who attempted to run as an independent for Arkansas' other U.S. Senate seat in 2020 but failed to meet the ballot access requirements,[58] is running as a Democrat.[12]

California

See also: List of United States senators from California and 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in California

Incumbent Democrat Alex Padilla took office on January 20, 2021, after being appointed by governor Gavin Newsom. His appointment was caused by the resignation of incumbent Democrat Kamala Harris, who resigned her seat on January 18, 2021, to take her seat as Vice President of the United States. Padilla announced his intention to run for a full term in 2022.[59]

Colorado

Main article: 2022 United States Senate election in Colorado

Two-term Democrat Michael Bennet took office on January 21, 2009, after being appointed by then governor Bill Ritter to replace outgoing Democrat Ken Salazar, who was nominated by President Barack Obama to serve as United States Secretary of the Interior. He won an election to a full term in 2010, and to a second term in 2016, with 49.97% of the vote.

Connecticut

Two-term Republican Marco Rubio was re-elected in 2016 with 52% of the vote. He announced on November 9, 2020, via Facebook, that he would be running for re-election.[18]

Possible Democratic candidates include U.S. Representative Val Demings,[62][63][64] State Representative Anna Eskamani,[63][65] Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Nikki Fried,[66] former U.S. Representative Gwen Graham,[66] U.S. Representative Stephanie Murphy,[63] and State Senator Jason Pizzo.[63]

Former U.S. Representative David Jolly, who was previously a Republican but is now independent, is considering running.[67]

Grace Granda, a business consultant, declared her candidacy with no party affiliation.[68]

Ivanka Trump, daughter and former Senior Advisor to former President Donald Trump, was seen as a potential candidate to primary Rubio for the Republican nomination.[69] However, on February 18, 2021, it was confirmed that she would not seek the nomination.[70]

Georgia

Main article: 2022 United States Senate election in Georgia
See also: List of United States senators from Georgia and 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Georgia

Incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock won the 2020–2021 special election against incumbent Republican Kelly Loeffler to fill the remainder of former Sen. Johnny Isakson's term. (Isakson had resigned at the end of 2019, and Loeffler was appointed by Governor Brian Kemp following Isakson's resignation.) No candidate in the open election on November 3 received the 50% required by Georgia law to avoid a runoff, a type of election colloquially known as a "jungle primary"[71]—Warnock received just 32.9% of the vote—and so a runoff election between Warnock and Loeffler was held on January 5, 2021, which Warnock won with 51% of the vote.

Former Republican senator David Perdue, who lost his race to Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff in 2021, filed paperwork to run for this seat.[72] A week after filing the paperwork, however, Perdue announced that he would not pursue another race for the Senate.[73] Loeffler is considering running again, as is former U.S. Representative Doug Collins.

Hawaii

One-term Democrat Brian Schatz was appointed to the Senate in 2012 following the death of incumbent Daniel Inouye. He won a special election to finish Inouye's term in 2014 and won his first full term in 2016 with 73.6% of the vote.

Seven-term Republican Chuck Grassley was re-elected in 2016 with 60.1% of the vote. When asked by the Iowa Capital Dispatch in February 2020 if he would be running for re-election and said:

You'll have to ask me a year and a half from now. Now if you'd asked me that six years ago, I'd have said I'm running for re-election. But now that I'm 86, I better make sure I can see myself to be 95 years old… Now the one thing I want to make sure of is, that I don't become a Senator Byrd, where, the last two years on office, I have to have a nurse with me. Or when [Strom] Thurmond left office at 100 years and three months, but the last couple of years, he needed a lot of help.

He also said that he would decide whether to run again "eight months to a year before the 2022 election".[74]

Should Grassley retire, potential Republican candidates include his grandson Speaker of the Iowa House of Representatives Pat Grassley and U.S. Representative Ashley Hinson.[75] State Senator Jim Carlin has announced candidacy regardless of whether Grassley retires or not.[23]

Potential Democratic candidates include U.S. Representative Cindy Axne, former U.S Representative Abby Finkenauer, retired Admiral and former aide to U.S. Senator Ted Kennedy Michael T. Franken, attorney Kimberly Graham, 2020 U.S. Senate nominee Theresa Greenfield, businessman and teacher Eddie Mauro, Iowa State Auditor Rob Sand, and veteran Cal Woods.[76]

Other possible races

On June 26, 2020, the United States House of Representatives voted 232–180 to grant statehood to the District of Columbia,[120] but the bill, H.R. 51, failed in the Senate when the 116th Congress ended. On January 3, 2021, D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton reintroduced the bill at the start of the 117th Congress with a record 202 co-sponsors,[121] and on January 27, Senator Tom Carper of Delaware introduced a companion bill, S. 51, into the Senate with a record 38 co-sponsors.[122] As the Democratic Party retained its control of the House and narrowly regained that of the Senate after the 2020 elections, it is possible that the 117th Congress (2021–2023) will grant statehood to the District of Columbia. This would add two seats to the Senate, both of which would probably be filled in special elections during the 2022 election cycle. The addition of these two seats, extremely likely to be won by Democrats,[123] would have a significant effect on the nationwide partisan battle for control of the Senate. However, the D.C. statehood bill would have to overcome a filibuster, which is unlikely to pass. Some Democrats such as Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have indicated that they will not support ending the legislative filibuster.

In addition, a referendum on Puerto Rico's status was held on November 3, 2020. A majority (52.52%) of voters chose statehood.[124] It is also plausible that the 117th Congress will grant statehood to Puerto Rico. The 2020 platforms of both the Democratic[125] and Republican parties[126] (identical to the 2016 Republican Party platform as the party's National Committee readopted it by a resolution on August 22, 2020) express support for Puerto Rico's right to determine the future of its status. Both seats would likely be filled also in special elections during the 2022 election cycle. Unlike the District of Columbia, the partisan lean of Puerto Rico is somewhat unclear. While Latino Americans of Puerto Rican descent tend to vote for Democrats, many argue that Puerto Rico's heavily Catholic population[127] will result in Puerto Rico agreeing with the Republican Party on many social issues like abortion, religion in schools, and same-sex marriage.[128] In addition, Puerto Rico's elected non-voting member of the House of Representatives, Jenniffer González, has served leadership positions in the Republican Party.

The incumbent shadow senators from D.C. and Puerto Rico may possibly run in these races. The D.C. shadow senators are Democrats Mike Brown and Paul Strauss. Their Puerto Rican counterparts are New Progressive Republican Zoraida Fonalledas and Democrat Carlos Romero Barceló.
