    Ronald Reagan's tenure as the 40th president of the United States began with his first inauguration on January 20, 1981, and ended on January 20, 1989. Reagan, a Republican from California, took office following a landslide victory over Democratic incumbent President Jimmy Carter in the 1980 presidential election.

    The 1986 United States Senate elections were elections for the United States Senate.

The Republicans had to defend an unusually large number of freshman Senate incumbents who had been elected on President Ronald Reagan's coattails in 1980.

This remains the most recent midterm election cycle in which the sitting president's party suffered net losses while still flipping a Senate seat.
