The1930 United States Senate elections occurred in the middle ofRepublican PresidentHerbert Hoover's term. The 32 seats ofClass 2 were contested in regular elections, and special elections were held to fill vacancies. With theGreat Depression beginning to take hold, Republican incumbents became unpopular,[1] andDemocrats picked up a net of eight seats, erasing the Republican gains from theprevious election cycle, however, Republicans retained control of the chamber. This was the first of four consecutive Senate elections during the Depression in which Democrats made enormous gains, achieving a cumulative pick-up of 34 seats.
InLouisiana, Democratic senator-electHuey Long chose not to take his Senate seat until January 25, 1932, so he could remain asGovernor of Louisiana. The Republicans therefore retained the plurality of seats at the beginning of the next Congress (with Vice PresidentCharles Curtis (R) able to casttie-breaking votes, the Republicans would have majority control).
Four Republicans retired instead of seeking re-election. Two Republicans retired instead of seeking election to finish the unexpired term and instead of seeking election to full term. One Democrat retired instead of seeking election to a full term.
Seven Republicans and five Democrats sought re-election but lost in the primary or general election.
