The Republicans, in 1986, lost the Senate, having lost the House in 1982.

They lost the House in 1954.

Regarding Republicans “losing the House in 1982,” I stand corrected. They did not take the House in 1980. But, they gained a lot of seats and a working majority was able to be forged between conservative Democrats (mostly Southerners) and Republicans in order to pass Reagan’s first tax cuts. It was that working majority that was lost in 1982.
