Senate Composition
John Tunney wins re-election against S. I. Hayakawa.

Al Gore is appointed by Tennessee governor Roy Blanton to fill President Baker's old senate seat.

Keith Sebelius is chosen by the governor of Kansas to succeed Bob Dole in the Senate.

This leaves the Democratic Party with 62 seats in the Senate and the Republican Party with 36 seats.

In the House the Democrats maintain their majority.

Under normal circumstances this would be bad for the Republicans but not with the great conciliator as president.
