The 2022 United States Senate elections were held under the Presidency of Joe Biden. The administration's passing of a popular infrastructure plan, basic voting legislation, and the recent appointment and approval of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson all served as backdrop to the election. Republican attacks on the administration relied mostly on cultural issues, rather than substantive ones. This allowed Democrats to effectively run on a program of simple, good government, running on the popularity of the President. The 2022 Senate elections were a rare example of the incumbent President's party gaining ground in the Senate in a midterm election. The accompanying Democratic gain in the House of Representatives and on the generic ballot is even more unusual historically. Political analysts saw this as a broad victory for President Biden and a good omen for the future of the Democratic Party. One notable shift apparent in exit polls was the shift of Latino voters back to the Democratic column after many had split for Donald Trump in the 2020 Presidential election. This allowed for closer than expected races in the Florida Senate and gubernatorial elections and the Texas gubernatorial election. These were the only races with significant polling error in an overall good year for political prediction. This appeared to continue the trend of little error in midterm elections, and significant ones in general elections.
