Following the 2016 State Senate elections, Democrats maintained effective control of the Senate with 23 members in the majority caucus (21 Democrats and two Progressives). To claim control of the chamber from Democrats, the Republicans would have needed to net gain eight or nine seats depending on the winner of the 2018 Vermont lieutenant governor election, which was Progressive Dave Zuckerman. However, in the elections, the Democrats instead gained one seat from the Republicans.
