Following my remarks, the Senate will resume consideration of the nomination of Senator Hagel to be Secretary of Defense. Yesterday I filed cloture on the Hagel nomination. That vote will occur tomorrow morning. ____________________

More from Harry Reid
Barack Obama will go down as having the most successful Congress in the history of the country. Barack Obama changed the world.
Get rid of the filibuster. It`s nothing. As Barack Obama said at John Lewis` funeral, it`s part of the leftovers from the days of slave owners. You have got to get rid of it. It`s very bad.
You cannot have a democracy that record 60 percent of the vote on everything. And that’s what the Republicans have done. They have made a mockery of what the Senate should be.
But the purpose of politics that Harry Reid understood very well is to get stuff done.
