The 1972 United States Senate elections were held on November 7,with the 33 seats of Class 2 contested in regular elections. They coincided with the landslide re-election of Republican President Richard Nixon. Despite Nixon's landslide victory,Democrats increased their majority by two seats. The Democrats picked up open seats in Kentucky and South Dakota,and defeated four incumbent senators:Gordon Allott of Colorado,J. Caleb Boggs of Delaware,Jack Miller of Iowa,and Margaret Chase Smith of Maine. The Republicans picked up open seats in New Mexico,North Carolina,and Oklahoma,and defeated one incumbent,William B. Spong Jr. of Virginia.
The 1954 United States Senate elections was a midterm election in the first term of Dwight D. Eisenhower's presidency. The 32 Senate seats of Class 2 were contested in regular elections,and six special elections were held to fill vacancies. Eisenhower's Republican party lost a net of two seats to the Democratic opposition. This small change was just enough to give Democrats control of the chamber with the help of the Independent who at the start of this Congress in January 1955 agreed to caucus with them;he later officially joined the party in April 1955.
