States that have senators of different parties

[Torie]

Only two states have senators from two different parties,  Maine that has both Sue Collins and Angus King, and in PA there is Moreno and Fetterman.  That is it I think, and has to ba record low, as the states become more ideologically polarized. Montana got rid of Jon Lester. Have I missed any other states thar have senators of different parties?

[Zenobiyl]

Wisconsin has the most polarized duo: Tammy Baldwin and Ron Johnson. Also PA is McCormick.

[JMT]

Next year, it’ll just be Maine, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin with Senators of two different parties.

I imagine that’s a record low? I wonder if we’ll ever reach a point where there are no states with Senators of two different parties?

Only 11 Senators will represent a state that wasn't carried by their party's Presidential nominee (Rosen and CCM, Gallego and Kelly, Ossoff and Warnock, Peters and Slotkin, Baldwin, Fetterman, and Collins. Which is actually more than the 5 before the election. If you count states with a Trump/Harris margin above/below the national average, WI and MI would flip, and then it would be 9 (Rosen and CCM, Gallego and Kelly, Ossoff and Warnock, Fetterman, and R. Johnson and Collins).

I think that ticket splitting might make a comeback given the 2024 results.

OH has a real chance of electing a D Senator just wait to see who announced to run for the open S Seat

[Mr.Bakari-Sellers]

I expect by 2028 the system delegation to be like this if Jeff Jackson runs and Osborn and Landsman gets elected

The way states are aligned right now, and if that happens along with each state voting senators from the same party as the winning prez, then the DEMs are cooked in short term.

[Mr.Bakari-Sellers]

All we need is candidates in ME, OH and NE, and WI to cement the Filibuster proof Trifecta in 2028 because WI Johnson is DOA

Some users have AK, and KS as swing states nonsense

Wisconsin

[Torie]

 You are right. My bad.

[Del Tachi]

For comparison, the number of states with split Senate delegations was 15 in the 111th Congress (2009-11) and actually increased to 18 for the 113th Congress (2013-15). It was 14 after Doug Jones took office in 2018, but fell to only 5 in 2021.

30 years ago, almost half of the states had split Senate delegations.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Even 1861 and 1937 had more than 3 split states.

[MarkD]

At least there's still some split-ticket voting going in a few states -- split in terms of presidential/senatorial. Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin each voted for Trump but elected Dems to the Senate (2 incumbent, 2 newbies). The first 3 of those have 2 Dem Senators, and so does Georgia (which didn't have a Senate election this year). So that's 5 of the 6 states which flipped D to R in the presidential election -- 4 have 2 Dem Senators and 1 has 1 of each.

The 2025 United States Senate consists of the above map.

It is, interestingly, the electoral map from Election 2020.

Election 2020 saw 25 states each carried by Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

There are, however, three states—carried in the 2020 Democratic column—which each have one Republican U.S. senator: Maine, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. (The latter two are bellwether states for U.S. President.)

The states with one Democrat and one Republican appear in purple.

Totals:
🔴 Republicans: 53
🔵 Democrats: 47

NC could flip on 2026 senate wise.

^That map is a stunning reminder of just how much Democrats are already punching above their weight in the Senate despite finding themselves in the minority for the next two years. Their ability to stay competitive in the Senate is dependent on suffering no losses in blue states (with ME being the one state that has eluded them several times) AND — the far more challenging part — a near-sweep of the swing states. Every. single. time. Especially now that the red state Dems are gone, Democrats need nearly all of the swing state Senators/seats to hold, including in some R-trending states like NV. It has been and remains a daunting task, made possible only by the exceptional strength of the Democratic Party and the glaring weaknesses of a disunited, dysfunctional, and outmaneauvered Republican Party, particularly under Mitch McConnell, who has cost the party more elections than he has fingers.

If the GOP were a truly competent political party on par with the Democrats, we wouldn’t even be talking about the Senate and it would largely be seen as the equivalent of the House during the 1950s-1980s. There’s some reason for optimism now that McConnell is gone and the GOP won the popular vote for the first time in a generation, but they’ll have ro rebrand/reorganize in a pretty dramatic fashion to end their streak of catastrophic underperformances, including last year when Trump won the popular vote.
