Incumbent Democrat Patsy Mink died on September 28, 2002 due to viral pneumonia as a result of complications from chickenpox. By the time of her death, it had been too late to remove her from the general election ballot. Thus, on November 5, Mink was post-humously re-elected.

The Republicans picked up open seats in Ohio and Kentucky and narrowly defeated Democratic incumbent Carol Moseley Braun, but these were cancelled out by the Democrats' gain of an open seat in Indiana and defeats of Republican Senators Al D'Amato and Lauch Faircloth. The balance of the Senate remained unchanged at 55–45 in favor of the Republicans.
