Election analyst Kyle Kondik on Thursday said that health care will be a driving issue for voters going into November's midterms.

"Health care generally is higher up, and it ranks higher for Democrats than for Republicans," Kondik, managing editor of "Sabato's Crystal Ball," told Hill.TV's Buck Sexton and Krystal Ball on "Rising."

"The one particular piece of that, you're starting to see this in the Senate races, in particular, is this pre-existing conditions issue because Democrats see it as a way to attack Republicans, and say, 'Hey, Republicans are trying to take away these pre-existing conditions protections.' Republicans are aggressively fighting back against it," he said.

Kondik's comments come one day after President Trump Donald John TrumpBiden on Trump's refusal to commit to peaceful transfer of power: 'What country are we in?'

Trump likened the proposed government program that is catching on with the progressive wing of the Democratic Party to radical socialism, saying it would threaten all senior citizens.

Democrats have been working to make health care a central part of the election strategy.

Senate Democrats sought to overturn short-term health care plans that do not provide coverage for preexisting conditions on Wednesday, but the measure failed in a 50-50 vote.

A recent American Barometer survey, conducted by Hill.TV and the HarrisX polling company found Democrats leading Republican by six-points on the generic congressional ballot going into the midterms.
