The elections coincided with other federal and state elections, including the <a href="/wiki/2000_United_States_presidential_election" title="2000 United States presidential election">presidential election</a> which was won by Republican <a href="/wiki/George_W._Bush" title="George W. Bush">George W. Bush</a>. These elections took place <a href="/wiki/1994_United_States_Senate_elections" title="1994 United States Senate elections">6 years</a> after Republicans had won a net gain of eight seats in <a href="/wiki/Classes_of_United_States_senators" title="Classes of United States senators">Senate Class 1</a>. Despite George W. Bush's victory in the presidential election, the Republicans lost four senate seats, the most a winning president's party has lost since the passage of the 17th Amendment. This election marked the first election year since 1990 where Democrats made net gains in the Senate. Democrats defeated incumbent Republicans in <a href="#Delaware">Delaware</a>, <a href="#Michigan">Michigan</a>, <a href="#Minnesota">Minnesota</a>, <a href="#Missouri">Missouri</a>, and <a href="#Washington">Washington</a>, and they won an open Republican-held seat in <a href="#Florida">Florida</a>. In <a href="#Missouri">Missouri</a>, the winner was elected posthumously. The Republicans defeated Democratic incumbent <a href="/wiki/Chuck_Robb" title="Chuck Robb">Chuck Robb</a> in <a href="#Virginia">Virginia</a>, and won an open seat in <a href="#Nevada">Nevada</a>. Additionally, Republican Senator <a href="/wiki/Paul_Coverdell" title="Paul Coverdell">Paul Coverdell</a> of Georgia died earlier in the year and was replaced by Democratic appointee <a href="/wiki/Zell_Miller" title="Zell Miller">Zell Miller</a>, who then went on to win the special election. </p><p>These elections resulted in an equal 50–50 split between Republicans and Democrats, with the Vice President casting the tie-breaking votes in the Senate. This was the second tied Senate, after the results in the 1880 elections. Democrats thereby won control of the Senate briefly for only 17 days, since <a href="/wiki/Al_Gore" title="Al Gore">Al Gore</a> was still <a href="/wiki/Vice_President_of_the_United_States" title="Vice President of the United States">Vice President</a> and President of the Senate at the beginning of the new term on January 3, 2001. The Republicans regained control of the chamber when the new Vice President <a href="/wiki/Dick_Cheney" title="Dick Cheney">Dick Cheney</a> was inaugurated on January 20. However, the Republican majority would only last until June 6, 2001, when Republican Senator <a href="/wiki/Jim_Jeffords" title="Jim Jeffords">Jim Jeffords</a> of Vermont became an <a href="/wiki/Independent_(politics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Independent (politics)">independent</a> and caucused with the Democrats. </p><p>Until <a href="/wiki/2020_United_States_Senate_elections" title="2020 United States Senate elections">2020</a>, this was the last time that Democrats would win a Senate seat in Georgia. This is the last election cycle with only Republicans and Democrats in the Senate, and the last election cycle in which Republicans won seats in <a

The election included a record $90 million in campaign expenditures between Clinton, Lazio, and Giuliani and national visibility.

The contest began for Democrats with a brutal primary challenge; U.S. Congressman Klink narrowly bested State senator <a href="/wiki/Allyson_Schwartz" title="Allyson Schwartz">Allyson Schwartz</a> and former Lieutenant Governor nominee <a href="/wiki/Tom_Foley_(Pennsylvania)" class="mw-redirect" title="Tom Foley (Pennsylvania)">Tom Foley</a> by running on the message that he was the only candidate capable of defeating the Republican. Klink was viewed as a viable choice because he was a traditional Democrat on most issues and had strong union ties but also was pro-life, which Democrats hoped would return votes to their party in the heavily <a href="/wiki/Catholic" class="mw-redirect" title="Catholic">Catholic</a> but economically liberal coal regions of the state. However, enthusiasm around Klink's campaign quickly waned. Liberal Democrats, particularly in the Philadelphia area, balked at donating to a socially conservative candidate who was almost unknown in their area. He was also badly outspent, leaving him unable to expand his presence in the state; he didn't run a single ad on Philadelphia television. Santorum, in contrast, successfully balanced his national recognition on social issues with local concerns en route to a surprisingly large victory.<sup id="cite_ref-111" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-111"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>102<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <table class="wikitable plainrowheaders"> <caption>General election<sup id="cite_ref-Clerk_9-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Clerk-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </caption> <tbody><tr> <th scope="col" colspan="2" style="width: 130px">Party </th> <th scope="col" style="width: 17em">Candidate </th> <th scope="col" style="width: 5em">Votes </th> <th scope="col" style="width: 3.5em">% </th> <th scope="col" style="width: 3.5em"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1038841319"><span class="rt-commentedText tooltip tooltip-dotted" title="Change in percentage value since previous election">±%</span> </th></tr> <tr class="vcard"> <td style="color:inherit;background-color:#E81B23;
