1906 Senate Appointments With their gubernatorial gains, Democrats narrowly retake the Senate 52-48. Most of their gains come from taking back the western states and making in roads into the Mid-Atlantic.

No gains.

Yates gained the Senate in 1902 so this would be only the second time this playtest if Pattison gains the Senate.

1906 House Elections Whigs only make marginal gains in the House, which leaves Democrats with the majority of 222-197 (down from 231-188). With Dems holding onto the majority of governorships, could Pres Pattison see a Dem trifecta?

1906 Gubernatorial Elections In a wild and exciting election night, Democrats manage to increase their net governors by 2 to control 30 states. Dems flipped CO, IL, NE, and NJ while Whigs flipped LA and MN. During the elections only 6 of the 15 governors seeking re-election managed to win. 6 governors lost during their primaries and 3 lost in the general.
