With the swearing-in of Kelly Loeffler as the junior senator from Georgia, there are now twenty-six women in the Senate - a record. The number has held steady or increased in every election from 1998 on.

This election cycle may break the string; there are a number of incumbent women who are vulnerable this time around - Loeffler herself, Collins of Maine, Ernst of Iowa, McSally of Arizona. Smith of Minnesota, possibly Baldwin of Wisconsin and Shaheen of New Hampshire - and at least some of their likely opponents are men. I don't see any likely flips the other way. (I would *love* to see Amy McGrath upset Mitch McConnell - I'd love to see an asthmatic Shih Tzu upset McConnell - but neither is likely.)
