Held on November 4, in the middle of <a href="/wiki/Ronald_Reagan" title="Ronald Reagan">Ronald Reagan</a>'s second presidential term, the 34 seats of <a href="/wiki/Classes_of_United_States_senators" title="Classes of United States senators">Class 3</a> were contested in regular elections. The <a href="/wiki/Republican_Party_(United_States)" title="Republican Party (United States)">Republicans</a> had to defend an unusually large number of freshman Senate incumbents who had been elected on <a href="/wiki/Reagan%27s_coattails" title="Reagan's coattails">President Ronald Reagan's coattails</a> in <a href="/wiki/1980_United_States_Senate_elections" title="1980 United States Senate elections">1980</a>. Democrats won a net of eight seats, defeating seven freshman incumbents, picking up two Republican-held open seats, and regaining control of the Senate for the first time since January 1981. This remains the most recent midterm election cycle in which the sitting president's party suffered net losses while still flipping a Senate seat. </p><p>Democrats gained a net eight seats, and recaptured control of the Senate from the Republicans with a 55–45 majority. They defeated seven incumbents, all but one of whom had been elected in 1980, and gained open seats held by retiring Republicans in Maryland and Nevada. Republicans gained one open seat in Missouri. <a href="/wiki/Bob_Dole" title="Bob Dole">Bob Dole</a> (R-<a href="/wiki/List_of_United_States_senators_from_Kansas" title="List of United States senators from Kansas">Kansas</a>) and <a href="/wiki/Robert_Byrd" title="Robert Byrd">Robert Byrd</a> (D-<a href="/wiki/List_of_United_States_senators_from_West_Virginia" title="List of United States senators from West Virginia">West Virginia</a>) exchanged positions as the Majority Leader and the Minority Leader. However, the Democratic majority would be reduced to 54-46 following the March 1987 death of Democrat <a href="/wiki/Edward_Zorinsky" title="Edward Zorinsky">Edward Zorinsky</a>, who was then replaced with a Republican. </p><p>This was the last election cycle — until <a href="/wiki/2016_United_States_Senate_elections" title="2016 United States Senate elections">2016</a> — in which the Democrats in this class of senators amassed a gain in seats (not including special elections held in off-years in some states to fill the seats that had been vacated by senators due to death, resignation, or
