The 100-member Senate will swear in nine freshmen members. Still in dispute is the Minnesota race between GOP incumbent Norm Coleman and Democrat Al Franken. Also undecided is how the Senate will handle former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris, picked by scandal-plagued Gov. Rod Blagojevich to succeed President-elect Barack Obama. Colorado's governor has picked Denver public schools superintendent Michael Bennet to succeed Democratic Sen. Ken Salazar, once he is confirmed as Interior secretary. New York's governor must also appoint a successor to Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton, after she is confirmed as secretary of State.
The new senators taking office Tuesday are:
