The1934 United States Senate elections were held in the middle ofDemocratic PresidentFranklin D. Roosevelt's first term. The 32 seats ofClass 1 were contested in regular elections, and special elections were held to fill vacancies. During theGreat Depression, voters strongly backed Roosevelt'sNew Deal and his allies in the Senate, with Democrats picking up a net of nine seats, giving them a supermajority (which required 64 seats, two-thirds of the total 96 seats in 1934).[1] Republicans later lost three more seats due to mid-term vacancies (one to Farmer-Labor and two to Democrats); however, a Democrat in Iowa died and the seat remained vacant until the next election. The Democrats entered the next election with a 70-22-2-1 majority.
This marked the first time that an incumbent president's party gained seats in both houses of Congress in midterm election cycles, followed by1998 and2002.[2] This was also the second of three times since the ratification of the17th Amendment that the opposition party failed to flip any Senate seats, alongside1914 and2022.
A number of historic figures were first elected to the Senate in 1934, including future President Truman, future Federal District Judge and Labor Secretary Schwellenbach, and future Supreme Court Justice Minton.
Two Democrats and one Republican retired instead of seeking re-election.
Eight Republicans and two Democrats sought re-election but lost in the primary or general election.
One Republican won re-election as a Progressive.
