Elections were held for the 60th United States Congress.They occurred in the middle of the Republican President Theodore Roosevelt's second and only full term, during the Fourth Party System. The Republicans retained control of both houses of Congress.

The Democrats won several seats in the House, but the Republicans retained a solid majority in the chamber.[3]

In the Senate, Republicans won moderate gains and maintained their commanding majority in the chamber.[4]

This marked the most recent time in which a sitting two-term Republican president retained both chambers of Congress after his second midterm.
