"Good morning, I'm Barbra Walters, and this is Today, November 4, 1970.

"The midterm elections last night were an unsurprising victory for the Democratic Party last night; let's go through the races:

In Arizona, Republican Paul Fannin is reelected.

In California, Democrat John V. Tunney won over the incumbent Republican George Murphy, a gain for the Democrats.

In Connecticut, an odd race: incumbent Democrat Thomas Dodd lost the Democratic Party's nomination, and mounted an independent campaign. The split Democratic vote results in a gain for the GOP, behind Lowell Weicker.

In Delaware, incumbent Republican John Williams retired, and the Republicans hold the seat with William V. Roth.

In Florida, incumbent Democrat Spressard Holland retired, and the Democrats hold this seat with Lawton Chiles.

In Hawaii, incumbent Republican Hiram Fong narrowly won reelection.

In Indiana, the seat formerly held by Secretary of State Vance Hartke, nominated Republican Richard Roudebush wins election to the full term.

In Maine, incumbent Democrat Edmund S. Muskie won reelection overwhelmingly.

In Maryland, incumbent Democrat Joseph Tydings narrowly won reelection.

In Massachusttes,incumbent Democrat Edward M. Kennedy easily wins reelection.

In Michigan, incumbent Democrat Philip Hart wins reelection.

In Minnesota, incumbent Democrat Eugene McCarthy somewhat surprisingly retired, and he was replaced by former Vice President and former holder of Minnesota's other seat, Hubert H. Humphrey, in a hold for the Democrats.

In Mississippi, incumbent Democrat John C. Stennis faced no Republican opposition, but did see an independent take nearly 12% of the vote. Unfortunately for the independent, Stennis took 88% and the election.

In Missouri, incumbent Democrat and vocal supporter of the White House agenda Stuart Symington won reelection narrowly.

In Montana, Democratic leader Mike Mansfield won reelection.

In Nebraska, incumbent Republican Roman Hruska narrowly lost reelection to Governor Frank B. Morrison, a gain for the Democrats.

In New Jersey, incumbent Democrat Harrison Williams won reelection.

In New Mexico, incumbent Democrat Joseph Montoya won reelection

In New York, in President Kennedy's old Senate seat, one of the mos interesting senate races in the country: incumbent Republican Charles Goodell has won election to a full term with less than 40% of the vote; the Conservative Party of New York, which usually backs the Republican nominee but not in this case, nominated longtime right-wing activist James Buckley, who took a quarter of the vote. Democrat Richard Ottinger threatened to split the liberal vote, as Goodell is seen as a liberal Republican, and finished in a close second behind Goodell.

In North Dakota, incumbent Democrat Quentin Burdick won reelection.

In Ohio, incumbent Democrat Stephen M. Young retired and his seat was held by the Democrats with Howard Metzenbaum.

In Pennsylvania, incumbent Republican Hugh Scott won reelection.

In Rhode Island, incumbent Democrat John O. Pastore won reelection overwhelmingly.

In Tennessee, incumbent Democrat Albert Gore, Sr., won reelection.

In Texas, Attorney General Ralph Yarborough's old seat was up, and the nominated incumbent Democrat Lloyd Bentsen won election to the full term.

In Utah, incumbent Democrat Frank Moss won reelection.

In Virginia, another odd race: incumbent Democrat Harry Byrd left the Democratic Party, and overwhelmingly won reelection against a Democrat and a Republican. Some Republicans have criticized Governor Linwood Holton's insistence on running a candidate in the race, arguing that the party should've backed Byrd. Holton, a liberal Republican, resisted backing the conservative ex-Democrat.

In Washington, Henry M. "Scoop" Jackson has won reelection.

In West Virginia, incumbent Democrat Robert Byrd won reelection.

In Wyoming, incumbent Democrat Gale McGee won reelection.

What about the Illinois senate race didn't Dirkson die like in the OTL?

What a landslide! I wonder how many congressmen and senators were elected on Kennedys coattails?.
