In the '''midterm elections of 1982''', the [[Democratic Party]] increased their majority in the [[U.S. House of Representatives]] by 27 seats while the margin in the [[U.S. Senate]] remained the same with a [[Republican]] majority.

The nation was in a deep [[recession]] and Democrats campaigned on defending the government services the Reagan administration wanted to cut. The elections forced [[President Reagan]] to compromise with liberal and moderate Democrats rather than counting on Republicans and [[conservative Democrat]]s to pass legislation. Republicans made up some of the ground they lost with Reagan's landslide reelection in 1984, gaining 16 House seats.

Democrats also gained seven governorships, including future Democratic President [[Bill Clinton]] who had been defeated for reelection in [[Arkansas]] in 1980. Future Republican presidential nominee [[John McCain]] was elected to Congress in [[Arizona]]. Future Senate Majority Leader [[Harry Reid]] was elected to the House in [[Nevada]].
