The Senate is on pace to add to its majority in the Senate in Tuesday's midterms, Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said Sunday.

In an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” Tillis, who also serves as the vice chair of the Senate Republican campaign effort, said “the map looks very good to us in about five or six different states.”

"We are not only going to hold a majority, I think we are going to add to it,” he declared.

Tillis also hit Democrats for a “false narrative” that pre-existing conditions in healthcare coverage are at risk.

"Even if some states opted not to cover… the way we would want them to, I think they would get unelected very quickly,” he said of locally elected officials. 

“This is a very popular policy with the American people which is exactly where the Democrats are trying to create this false narrative — that people in Washington and the statehouses want to take it away.

The broader health care market in this country is headed for disaster if we don't recognize we've got to fix it,” he added.
