U.S. Sen. Richard Burr says health care should be on the list.
The Winston-Salem Republican is one of a handful of first-term senators who are trying to make health care an issue in the November races without much luck, the National Journal reports.
"When was the last time you saw a Republican presidential candidate lead on health care?" said Burr, who has long been a supporter of presumptive GOP nominee John McCain.
Polls show more voters trust presumptive Democratic nominee Barack Obama on the issue.
But Sen. John Ensign of the National Republican Senatorial Committee said that the fall elections will be focused on the issue of energy, specifically offshore drilling and high gas prices.
