参议院选举 美国选举
民主党在中期选举中拿下了此前属共和党阵营的州。
这对那些通常支持共和党的州而言仿佛是一个分水岭时刻，同时也逆转了国会山近来的两极分化趋势。
皮尤研究中心2021年的一份分析报告显示，在选举日当天，全国仅存在4个两党各占一名参议员的“分裂州参议院代表团”——即一个州由来自多个政党的参议员代表，这是自17修正案批准后1914年开始全国参议员直选以来的最低纪录。
明年1月，这类代表团至少将增至10个；如果民主党候选人拿下密西西比州和阿拉斯加州尚未决的席位，数量可能多达12个。这一格局回归了历史常态。
这类分裂代表团包括佛蒙特州，该州参议员伯尼·桑德斯名义上无党籍，但在程序性事务中与民主党立场一致。缅因州也位列其中，民主党人特洛伊·杰克逊将加入无党籍参议员安格斯·金的阵营，而金与桑德斯一样，在议会党团中归属民主党。
不断变化的政治版图也足以提醒人们，美国政治的弹性远超多数人认知。
堪萨斯州在周二选出了自“大萧条”以来首位民主党籍联邦参议员。但这条维持了94年的纪录现已被打破，这在美国政治中是绝无仅有的情况。
事实上，自堪萨斯州1861年建州以来，当选参议员亚当·汉密尔顿将成为该州历史上第四位民主党籍联邦参议员。这一数据颇具深意，尤其是考虑到两党在此期间发生了巨大演变。
汉密尔顿赢得堪萨斯州选票，部分原因在于他承诺将跨党派合作，并主张该州由两党参议员共同代表会更有利于发展。
得克萨斯州和密西西比州上一次选出民主党籍参议员还是在20世纪80年代。
如果密西西比州民主党人斯科特·科勒姆胜选，他们将加入过去25年内都有两大主要政党各占一名参议员的多数州行列。
目前，单一政党连续占据参议员席位的最长纪录属于夏威夷、怀俄明和犹他州。
自1970年以来，没有共和党人当选代表夏威夷。当时当选的共和党人希拉姆·芳是夏威夷1959年建州时的首批两名参议员之一。自同年以来，怀俄明和犹他州也没有民主党人当选联邦参议员。
密西西比河以东地区的最长纪录属于新泽西州，自1972年克利福德·凯斯当选联邦参议员、结束其在国会山的漫长政治生涯后，该州再无共和党人当选联邦参议员。2013年，共和党人杰弗里·基奥萨曾被短暂任命任职，这是由于当时该州州长是共和党人克里斯·克里斯蒂。
选民可以拆分选举州级和联邦级职位
新罕布什尔州目前由两名民主党参议员代表，在胜选的众议员克里斯·帕帕斯宣誓就职后，这一局面将持续。该州上一位共和党籍参议员是2010年当选的凯利·阿约特，她目前担任该州州长，并在周二成功连任。
南北达科他州和蒙大拿州在过去25年内都曾由两名民主党参议员代表。如今这三个州均由两名共和党参议员代表，不过今年在蒙大拿州、南达科他州和内布拉斯加州，对共和党构成最大挑战的是无党籍人士，而非民主党人，且无一人胜选。

How the midterms shook up Senate delegations for 2027

Senate election US elections
Democrats’ red-state dreams came true in the midterm elections.
What feels like a watershed moment for those normally red states also reverses a recent trend of polarization on Capitol Hill.
Heading into Election Day, there were only four split Senate delegations — meaning states represented by senators from more than one party. That was the fewest since the nationwide election of senators began with the 1914 election after the ratification of the 17th amendment, according to a 2021 analysis by Pew.
In January, there will be at least 10 such delegations; there could be up to 12 if Democratic candidates win unresolved races in Mississippi and Alaska. It’s a return to the historical norm.
The split delegations will include Vermont, where Sen. Bernie Sanders is technically independent, but sides with Democrats for procedural matters. Also on the list will be Maine, where Democrat Troy Jackson will join the independent Sen. Angus King, who, like Sanders, caucuses with Democrats.
The changing political map is also a good reminder that American politics are more elastic than many people realize.
Kansas on Tuesday elected a Democrat to the US Senate for the first time since the Great Depression. But that 94-year streak, now broken, was unlike anything else in US politics.
In fact, since Kansas became a state in 1861, Sen.-elect Adam Hamilton will be only the fourth Democrat to represent it in Senate history. It’s a remarkable statistic especially because the two parties have evolved so much during that time.
Hamilton won Kansas in part by promising to work across the aisle and arguing that his state would be better served having lawmakers from both parties.
For Texas and Mississippi, the last Democrats were elected in the 1980s.
They would join, if Mississippi Democrat Scott Colom wins, the majority of states that have been represented by a senator from both major parties within the past 25 years.
The longest one-party streaks are now in Hawaii, Wyoming and Utah
No Republican has been elected to represent the islands since 1970. That Republican, Hiram Fong, was one of Hawaii’s first two senators, elected when Hawaii became a state in 1959. No Democrat has been elected to represent Wyoming or Utah since that same year.
The longest streak east of the Mississippi River is in New Jersey, where no Republican has been elected to the US Senate since Clifford Case was elected in 1972, capping a long career on Capitol Hill. A Republican senator, Jeffrey Chiesa, was briefly appointed to serve in 2013. That was the result of the state having a Republican governor, Chris Christie, at the time.
Voters can split state and federal offices
New Hampshire is represented by two Democratic senators, and that will continue after Rep. Chris Pappas, who won the election there, is sworn in. The last Republican elected as a senator was Kelly Ayotte in 2010. She’s currently the state’s governor, and was elected to a second term on Tuesday.
Both Dakotas and Montana were represented by two Democrats within the last 25 years. Now all three states are represented by two Republicans, although this year in Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska it was independents, not Democrats, who mounted the biggest challenge to Republicans. None of them won.
