U.S. Senate election, 1944

The U.S. Senate election, 1944 was an election for the United States Senate which coincided with the reelection of Franklin Delano Roosevelt to his fourth term as President. Democratic and Republican gains cancelled each other, and there was no change in party balance.

Democrats defeated three Republican incumbents: John A. Danaher (R-CT), Gerald P. Nye (R-ND), and James J. Davis (R-PA). Republicans took open seats in Indiana, Missouri, and New Jersey (where a Democrat had been appointed to a Republican vacancy), and defeated Guy M. Gillette (D-IA).
