The Senate is part of the U.S. Congress, equivalent to Australia’s Parliament.

Every two years,goes to elections. The elections that fall half-way through a four-year Presidential term are called mid-terms.

Senators serve six-year terms. At each Congressional election, around a third of the seats go up for election.

This means both major parties will have the opportunity to change the makeup of the Senate at the 2026 mid-terms.
