Английская Википедия:1934 United States Senate elections
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox election The 1934 United States Senate elections were held in the middle of Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt's first term. The 32 seats of Class 1 were contested in regular elections, and special elections were held to fill vacancies. During the Great Depression, voters strongly backed Roosevelt's New 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 Democratic in Iowa died and the seat remained vacant until the next election. 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 by 1998 and 2002.[2] This was also the second of three times in American history that the opposition party failed to flip any Senate seats, alongside 1914 and 2022.
