1922 midterm elections — Republicans suffer major losses in Congress

On November 7, 1922, midterm elections produced large Republican losses in the House and a reduced Republican majority in the Senate, though Republicans retained control of both chambers.

The election was widely viewed as a public rebuke of Republican policies and scandals, constraining President Harding's legislative agenda and affecting appointments and party strategy for the remainder of his term.
