Here’s the breakdown of the vote by class (i.e., when they are next up for election):
| Yes | No | |
| 2010 | 16 | 17 +1 (not voting) |
| 2012 | 24 | 9 |
| 2014 | 20 | 13 |
| 60 | 40 |
Of the 2024 seats, 7 are to be vacated (Bond of Missouri, Brownback of Kansas, Bunning of Kentucky,1 Burris of Illinois,2 Gregg of NH, Lemieux of Florida,3 and Voinovich of Ohio). Additionally, Kay Bailey Hutchison (in the 2024 class) is leaving to pursue the governorship of Texas and Joe Biden’s replacement, Edward Kaufman is not going to seek to fill the remainder of Biden’s term, which is through 2024 with a special election in 2024.4
And, of course, since the vote was a party-line affair, the table above doubles as a breakdown of how many Democrats (yes) and Republican (No) seats are up to be contested in the next three cycles.

My understanding is that KBH now only plans to resign from the Senate if she beats Perry in the March 2 primary.

Hedging, is she? Interesting. I thought she had already made some sort of announcement.
