The 1980 United States Senate elections were held on November 4,coinciding with Ronald Reagan's victory in the presidential election. The 34 Senate seats of Class 3 were contested in regular elections. Reagan's large margin of victory over incumbent Jimmy Carter gave a huge boost to Republican Senate candidates,allowing them to flip 12 Democratic seats and win control of the chamber for the first time since the end of the 83rd Congress in January 1955. This was the first time since 1966 that any party successfully defended all their own seats.
The 1978 United States Senate elections were held on November 7,in the middle of Democratic President Jimmy Carter's term. The 33 seats of Class 2 were contested in regular elections. Special elections were also held to fill vacancies.
The 1966 United States Senate elections were elections on November 8,1966,for the United States Senate which occurred midway through the second term of President Lyndon B. Johnson. The 33 seats of Class 2 were contested in regular elections. Special elections were also held to fill vacancies. With divisions in the Democratic base over the Vietnam War,and with the traditional mid-term advantage of the party not holding the presidency,the Republicans took three Democratic seats,thereby breaking Democrats' 2/3rds supermajority. 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.
The 1982 United States House of Representatives elections was an election for the United States House of Representatives held on November 2,1982,to elect members to serve in the 98th United States Congress. They occurred in the middle of President Ronald Reagan's first term,whose popularity was sinking due to economic conditions under the 1982 recession. The President's Republican Party lost seats in the House,which could be viewed as a response to the President's approval at the time. Unlike most midterm election cycles,the number of seats lost—26 seats to the Democratic Party—was a comparatively large swap. It included most of the seats that had been gained the previous election,cementing the Democratic majority. Coincidentally,the number of seats the Democrats picked up (26),was the exact amount the Republicans would have needed to win the House majority. It was the first election held after the 1980 United States redistricting cycle.
The 1966 United States House of Representatives elections was an election for the United States House of Representatives on November 8,1966,to elect members to serve in the 90th United States Congress. They occurred in the middle of President Lyndon B. Johnson's second term. As the Vietnam War continued to escalate and race riots exploded in cities across the country,Johnson's popularity had fallen,and the opposition Republican Party was able to gain a net of 47 seats from Johnson's Democratic Party,which nonetheless maintained a clear majority in the House. This was also the first election that occurred after the Voting Rights Act of 1965 became law,the first time since 1870 that a Republican won a House seat in Arkansas,and the first since 1876 that the party did so in South Carolina.
