The 33 seats of Class 2 were contested in regular elections. Special elections were also held to fill vacancies.

Despite Republican gains, the balance remained overwhelmingly in favor of the Democrats, who retained a 64–36 majority. Democrats were further reduced to 63–37, following the death of Robert F. Kennedy in June 1968.
