The election is expected to be competive and very important to determine whether Democrats or Republicans will control the Senate in 2023.
On October 5, 2020, incumbent two-term Republican U.S. Senator Pat Toomey announced that he would not run for re-election to a third term and currently plans "to go back to the private sector" at the conclusion of his term.[1][2] Previously, he had openly stated that he was considering running for governor instead of running for re-election to the Senate.[3]
