The United States Senate elections of 2018 were held on November 6, 2018. It was the second largest swing of Senate seats in U.S. history.

With President Clinton's rising unpopularity and the unemployment rate skyrocketing, it was projected that the Republicans would gain a Senate majority in 2018. The majority came earlier on December 1, 2017, when Senator announced that he was at odds with President Clinton on coal and proceeded to exit the Democratic Party and become an independent caucusing with the Republicans. On July 17, 2018, New Jersey Senator was indicted on corruption charges, giving State Senate Minority leader  a lead in polls. By the time election day arrived, President Clinton's approval ratings hit 23%. The results for the Senate came as followed.
 * State Senator Thomas Kean, Jr. (R-NJ) def. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) (inc.)
 * Congressman Rob Wittman (R-VA) def. Senator Mark Herring (D-VA) (inc.)
 * Senator Joe Manchin (I-WV) def. ????
