As coronavirus infections continue to surge in states across the country, a new report from the New York Times finds that health care is taking “center stage” in the battle for control of the Senate — and that’s bad news for every Republican who’s on the ballot in less than four months.

This is a major concern for voters on an issue where they consistently trust Democrats over the GOP, and where Senate Republicans can’t run from their toxic records.
