United States Senate Election, 2018 (Nkechinyer)

The United States Senate Election in 2018 was held on November 6, 2018. Despite rather unpopular policies and poor policymaking from incumbent president Donald Trump, the Republicans maintained control in the United States Senate. However, due to poor leadership, Kentucky Senator and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell resigned as majority leader immediately after the 2018 Election, being replaced by South Carolina Senator Lindsay Graham.

The Election started with 52 seats for the Republicans and McConnell, and 48 seats for the Democrats and Schumer. The 2018 Senate saw some changes, but the overall margin remained virtually the same, with the Republicans picking up one more seat than the Democrats. Five Incumbents lost re-election, and another four senators (California's Dianne Feinstein, Tennessee's Bob Corker, New Jersey's Bob Menendez and Utah's Orrin Hatch) retired from the Senate.
