The 2004 United States elections were held on November 2, with President George W. Bush winning re-election. Riding Bush's coattails, the Republicans picked up net gains of 4 Senate seats and 3 House seats, increasing their majorities in both Houses of Congress. In the state governorships up for election, there was no net gain in seats for either party. Foreign policy was the dominant theme throughout the election campaign, particularly Bush's conduct of the War on Terrorism and the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
Republican incumbent President George W. Bush was re-elected, defeating Democratic Senator John Kerry from Massachusetts.
Republicans gained a couple of seats in the House, mainly due to the 2003 Texas redistricting.
