United States Senate Election, 2028 (Nkechinyer)

The United States Senate Election in 2028 was held on November 7, 2028. Both Parties picked a new majority and minority leader in this election. Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer did not run for re-election. The Republican-Libertarian party was created upon a coalition agreement between the sinking Republican Party and the rising Libertarian Party in 2027, with the primary objective to take control of both houses of congress and the while house in the 2028 Election Cycle. The Republican-Libertarian Leader, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, ended up just short at 50 seats.

The senate session from January 2, 2029 to January 2, 2031 was the first 50-50 Senate control since 2001. However, the Democrats retained control of the Senate for the 5th congressional session in a row by the virtue of holding the Vice Presidency, via former California Senator Eric Garcetti. The Democratic Party entered the election with 53 seats, the Republican-Libertarian Party entered the election with 47 seats. The Democrats lost 3 seats, with the Republican-Libertarians gaining 3 seats, and one retiring Republican-Libertarian Senator being replaced by an Independent who caucuses with the Republican-Libertarian party.
