rdf:langString The 2002 United States Senate elections featured a series of fiercely contested elections that resulted in a victory for the Republican Party, which gained two seats and thus a narrow majority from the Democratic Party in the United States Senate. The Senate seats up for election, known as class 2 Senate seats, were last up for regular election in 1996. The election was held on November 5, 2002, almost fourteen months after the September 11, 2001 attacks. The Democrats had originally hoped to do well, as the party holding the presidency historically loses seats in midterm elections, and additionally, the Republicans had 20 seats up for election compared to 14 Democratic seats up for election. In addition, the Republicans had five open seats, while the Democrats and the Independence Party of Minnesota had one each. However, the Republicans were able to hold their five open seats and pick up the one that was held by the IPM, while the Democrats held their only open seat. Ultimately, Republicans would pick up three seats and lose one, resulting in a net gain of two seats. Together with gains made in the House of Representatives, this election was one of three mid-term elections since the Civil War in which the party in control of the White House did not lose Congressional seats (the others were 1934 and 1998). This is also the last midterm election where the party controlling the White House flipped a senate seat in a state they did not win in the preceding presidential election (in this case, Minnesota). Trent Lott led the Senate Republicans through this election cycle and was due to become the new Senate Majority Leader upon the retaking of control of the Senate by the Republicans. However, his controversial praise for Strom Thurmond's 1948 segregationist Dixiecrat presidential campaign at Thurmond's 100th birthday celebration led to Lott's stepping-down from Senate leadership, and resulted in Tennessee Republican Bill Frist being selected as the new Senate Majority Leader instead. This was the only election cycle ever where the party of the incumbent president gained new control of a house of Congress in a midterm election. As of 2022, this was the last Senate election cycle where Republicans won Senate elections in Minnesota, New Mexico, Oregon, and Virginia.

rdf:langString Am 5. November 2002 wurde in den Vereinigten Staaten der Senat gewählt. Die Wahlen waren Teil der Halbzeitwahlen 2002, bei der auch das Repräsentantenhaus neu gewählt wurde. Im Senat stellt jeder der 50 Bundesstaaten 2 Abgeordnete. Vor der Wahl waren 49 Senatoren Republikaner, 50 Demokraten und einer unabhängig. In 34 Bundesstaaten wurde 2002 jeweils ein Senator neu gewählt, die Amtszeit der restlichen 66 Senatoren endete 2004 bzw. 2006. Von den zur Wahl stehenden Sitzen wurden bisher 14 von Demokraten und 19 von Republikanern gehalten. Die Republikaner gewannen zwei Sitze mehr zu Lasten der Demokraten. Die genauen Ergebnisse:

rdf:langString Les élections sénatoriales américaines de 2002 ont eu lieu le 5 novembre 2002. Elles ont abouti à une victoire pour le Parti républicain, qui gagne deux sièges et donc une courte majorité au Sénat, au détriment du Parti démocrate. L'élection renouvelait les sénateurs de classe 2, élus en 1996. Les espoirs des Démocrates étaient grands, alors que l'économie sortait juste de la récession avec un taux de chômage encore élevé, et que le parti au pouvoir perd généralement des sièges aux élections de mi-mandat, particulièrement quand la situation économique est mauvaise. De plus, quatre sénateurs républicains ne se représentaient pas (contre aucun Démocrate), rendant leur sièges plus facile à gagner. Cependant, ces open seats se trouvaient dans le Sud, et les Républicains avaient trouvé quatre candidats solides pour remplacer les sortants. Avec les gains enregistrés à la Chambre des représentants lors des élections législatives, c'est l'une des premières fois en un siècle que le parti au pouvoir progresse au Congrès. Les élections se sont déroulés quatorze mois après les attentats du 11 septembre 2001. Les élections ont donc été dominées par le contexte de la guerre contre le terrorisme, la possibilité d'une intervention en Irak, mais aussi par la mort du sénateur Paul Wellstone. La campagne, menée davantage sur des thèmes internationaux que sur des thèmes de politique intérieure, a donc avantagé les Républicains.
