U.S. Senate election, 1998

The U.S. Senate election, 1998 was a roughly even contest between the Republican and Democratic parties. On the one hand, the Republican party slightly lost popularity after the impeachment of President Clinton; on the other, the Democrats had more seats to defend since this was six years after a Democratic wave in the 1992 election.
