U.S. Senate election, 1992
The U.S. Senate election, 1992 was an election in which the victory of Bill Clinton in the presidential election was not accompanied by major Democratic gains in the Senate.
Democratic victories over John F. Seymour (R-CA) and Bob Kasten (R-WI) were cancelled out by the defeats of Wyche Fowler, Jr. (D-GA) and Terry Sanford (D-NC). The election of four new Democratic women to the Senate was notable (referred to in the press as the "year of the woman").
In 1993, Democratic Senator Lloyd Bentsen (D-TX) resigned to become Secretary of the Treasury. His replacement, Bob Krueger (D-TX), lost a special election to Republican Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX). This is not included in the party balance numbers below.
