Elections were held for the60th United States Congress. It occurred in the middle of Republican PresidentTheodore Roosevelt's second (only full) term, during theFourth Party System. Republicans retained control of both houses of Congress.
Democrats won several seats in theHouse, but Republicans retained a solid majority in the chamber.[3]
In theSenate, Republicans won moderate gains and maintained their commanding majority in the chamber.[4]
This marked the most recent time in which a sitting two-term Republican president retained both chambers of Congress after his second midterm.
