The United States Senate elections of 1876 and 1877 had the Democratic Party gain five seats in the United States Senate, and coincided with Rutherford B. Hayes's narrow election as President. Republicans remained in the majority, however.
As these elections were prior to ratification of the seventeenth amendment, Senators were chosen by state legislatures.
