The '''1920 United States Senate elections''' were elections for the [[United States Senate]] that coincided with the [[1920 United States presidential election|presidential election]] of [[Warren G. Harding]]. [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]] [[Woodrow Wilson]]'s unpopularity allowed [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]]s to win races across the country, winning ten seats from the Democrats and providing them with an overwhelming 59-to-37 majority. The Republican landslide was so vast that Democrats lost over half of the seats that were contested this year and failed to win a single race outside the South. |
The '''1920 United States Senate elections''' were elections for the [[United States Senate]] that coincided with the [[1920 United States presidential election|presidential election]] of [[Warren G. Harding]]. The 32 seats of [[Classes of United States senators|Class 3]] were contested in regular elections, and special elections were held to fill vacancies. [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]] [[Woodrow Wilson]]'s unpopularity allowed [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]]s to win races across the country, winning ten seats from the Democrats and providing them with an overwhelming 59-to-37 majority. The Republican landslide was so vast that Democrats lost over half of the seats that were contested this year and failed to win a single race outside the South. |

Since the passage of the [[Seventeenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|Seventeenth Amendment]], these elections were the closest when the winning party in almost every Senate election mirrored the winning party for their state in the presidential election, with Kentucky being the only Senate race to not mirror their presidential result. No other Senate election cycle in a presidential year would come close to repeating this feat until [[2016 United States Senate elections|2016]], in which the result of every Senate race mirrored the corresponding state's result in the presidential election. Coincidentally, that election cycle involved the same class of Senate seats, Class 3.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Enten |first=Harry |date=November 10, 2016 |title=There Were No Purple* States On Tuesday |url=https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/there-were-no-purple-states-on-tuesday |access-date=August 19, 2020 |website=FiveThirtyEight |language=en-US}}</ref> |

This is one of only five occasions where 10 or more Senate seats changed party in an election, with the other occasions being in [[1932 United States Senate elections|1932]], [[1946 United States Senate elections|1946]], [[1958 United States Senate elections|1958]], and [[1980 United States Senate elections|1980]]. |

As of {{CURRENTYEAR}}, the 59 |
As of {{CURRENTYEAR}}, the 59 seats held after this election cycle remains the highest number of seats that the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican Party]] has held as the result of an election cycle. This number rose to 60, the highest number of seats the Republicans have ever held, after Democrat senator [[Josiah O. Wolcott]] of Delaware accepted an offer from Republican governor [[William D. Denney]] to become Chancellor of the [[Delaware Court of Chancery]], allowing Denney to name Republican [[T. Coleman du Pont]] to replace Wolcott, a seat du Pont held until [[1922 United States Senate election in Delaware|the next election]], in which both a special election was held for the remainder of the term and a regular election was held as the seat was normally up then, both of which du Pont lost narrowly to Democrat [[Thomas F. Bayard Jr.]] In addition, the 22-seat majority is the largest majority that the Republicans have achieved [[Party divisions of United States Congresses|in any election since]]. |

The 1920 United States Senate elections were elections for the United States Senate that coincided with the presidential election of Warren G. Harding. The 32 seats of Class 3 were contested in regular elections, and special elections were held to fill vacancies. Democrat Woodrow Wilson's unpopularity allowed Republicans to win races across the country, winning ten seats from the Democrats and providing them with an overwhelming 59-to-37 majority. The Republican landslide was so vast that Democrats lost over half of the seats that were contested this year and failed to win a single race outside the South.
Since the passage of the Seventeenth Amendment, these elections were the closest when the winning party in almost every Senate election mirrored the winning party for their state in the presidential election, with Kentucky being the only Senate race to not mirror their presidential result. No other Senate election cycle in a presidential year would come close to repeating this feat until 2016, in which the result of every Senate race mirrored the corresponding state's result in the presidential election. Coincidentally, that election cycle involved the same class of Senate seats, Class 3.[1]
This is one of only five occasions where 10 or more Senate seats changed party in an election, with the other occasions being in 1932, 1946, 1958, and 1980.
As of 2024, the 59 seats held after this election cycle remains the highest number of seats that the Republican Party has held as the result of an election cycle. This number rose to 60, the highest number of seats the Republicans have ever held, after Democrat senator Josiah O. Wolcott of Delaware accepted an offer from Republican governor William D. Denney to become Chancellor of the Delaware Court of Chancery, allowing Denney to name Republican T. Coleman du Pont to replace Wolcott, a seat du Pont held until the next election, in which both a special election was held for the remainder of the term and a regular election was held as the seat was normally up then, both of which du Pont lost narrowly to Democrat Thomas F. Bayard Jr. In addition, the 22-seat majority is the largest majority that the Republicans have achieved in any election since.
