The 1926 United States Senate election in Connecticut was held on November 2, 1926.
Incumbent Senator Hiram Bingham III, who won a 1924 special election to complete the unexpired term of Frank B. Brandegee, was re-elected to a full term in office over Democrat Rollin U. Tyler.
At the Republican convention in Hartford on September 13, Senator Bingham was unopposed for re-nomination. [1]
The Senate nomination was largely seen as a secondary consolation prize in the campaign for Governor. The two leading candidates for that office were Charles Gould Morris and William E. Thoms. [2] [3] On the eve of the convention, Thoms appeared the have the edge for Governor, leaving the Senate nomination to Morris. [3]
At the convention, Thoms declined to stand for any office; his supporters suggested he would run in 1928 on a ticket with Al Smith. Morris took the gubernatorial nomination for the second consecutive campaign, and Probate Court Judge Rollin Tyler was nominated for Senate. [4] The party platform urged for the repeal of Prohibition, which was an "indefensible curtailment of personal liberty," and decentralization of government from Washington to the states. [4]
Bingham and the entire Republican ticket cruised to re-election. By October 31, the New York Times confidently predicted that he would win. [5]

The 1964 United States Senate elections were held on November 3. The 33 seats of Class 1 were contested in regular elections. Special elections were also held to fill vacancies. They coincided with the election of President Lyndon B. Johnson by an overwhelming majority, to a full term. His Democratic Party picked up a net two seats from the Republicans. As of 2023, this was the last time either party has had a two-thirds majority in the Senate, which would have hypothetically allowed the Senate Democrats to override a veto, propose constitutional amendments, or convict and expel certain officials without any votes from Senate Republicans. In practice, however, internal divisions effectively prevented the Democrats from doing so. The Senate election cycle coincided with Democratic gains in the House in the same year.
