| Description | The Democrats scored a narrow victory in the U.S. Senate elections of 1944. They won a 52-48% victory in the various races, which was good for a net gain of two seats. When Congress actually convened in 1945, however, it had the same ratio of Democrats to Republicans as in 1943 (57-38). |
