1974 United States Senate elections (The Kennedy Legacy)

The 1974 United States Senate elections were elections for the United States Senate held on November 5, 1974 that coincided with the middle of Robert F. Kennedy's second term as President. While the United States benefited from a growing economy, an ongoing crisis between Egypt and Israel had continued to escalate following failed peace talks and the  reopened investigation into Marilyn Monroe's death had hurt Kennedy's and the Democrats standing, resulting in the Republicans picking up three seats, however Democrats managed to maintain control over the Senate.
