The 1952 United States Senate elections was an election for the United States Senate which coincided with the election of Dwight D. Eisenhower to the presidency by a large margin. The 32 Senate seats of Class 1 were contested in regular elections, and three special elections were held to fill vacancies. The Republicans took control of the Senate by managing to make a net gain of two seats. However, Wayne Morse (R-OR) became an independent forcing Republicans to rely on Vice President Richard Nixon's tie-breaking vote for a brief period in 1953, until Republicans later flipped a seat in a special election thereby giving them an outright majority again. This was the second time in Senate history that this occurred, along with 1880. This was the third time, as well as second consecutive, in which a sitting Senate leader lost his seat.
Byron Gray Stout was a politician from the U.S. state of Michigan.
