U.S. Senate election, 1998 Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description

The U.S. Senate election, 1998 was a roughly even contest between the Republican and Democratic parties. On the one hand, the Republican party slightly lost popularity after the impeachment of President Clinton; on the other, the Democrats had more seats to defend since this was six years after a Democratic wave in 1992.

In the end the balance of the Senate was unchanged. The Republicans took open seats in Kentucky and Ohio from the Democrats as well as unseating Carol Moseley-Braun (D-IL). Democrat Evan Bayh took the open seat in Indiana, and incumbent Senators Lauch Faircloth (R-NC) and Alfonse D'Amato (R-NY) lost their seats to John Edwards and Charles Schumer democratic challengers.
