In American federal elections, races for U.S. Senate tend to be more competitive than those for U.S. House of Representatives.[3] Even in wave election years, the vast majority of U.S. House members keep their seats, with little pressure from the opposing party.[4] Competition in U.S. House races has been in decline since at least the 1960s.[5]
