The 1934 United States Senate elections were held in the middle of Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt's first term. The 32 seats of Class 1 were contested in regular elections, and special elections were held to fill vacancies. During the Great Depression, voters strongly backed Roosevelt's New Deal and his allies in the Senate, with Democrats picking up a net of nine seats, giving them a supermajority. This marked the first time that an incumbent president's party gained seats in both houses of Congress in a midterm election, followed by 1998 and 2002. This was also the second of three times in American history that the opposition party failed to flip any Senate seats, alongside 1914 and 2022.
