The Democrats lost seven seats in the 2014 mid-term elections to lose control of the US senate
In each two year election cycle one-third of the United States Senate is up for re-election as each Senator serves a six year term. In the United States in 2012 23 Democratic seats were up for election and 10 Republican seats. (seats either held by a Democrat or Republican) The Democrats won all of their seats back and turned two Republican seats into Democratic seats. Two other seats were won by Independents; one of them previously a Republican seat. There are now 55 Democratic seats and 45 Republican seats in the United States Senate as the two Independents are caucusing with the Democrats.
Whatever the number is, they now have it.
The Republican opposition in Congress is currently the majority. The official opposition holds over 225 seats, as opposed to the Senate in which case the Democrats hold the majority of the 100 Senate seats.
In the State Senate the Democrats are in the monority with only 20 of the 50 Senate seats while they are a slight majority in the State House with 104 to 99.
There are 56 members in the senate
