More from Harry Reid
The portraits of Senator Harry Reid and Senator Ted Stevens are the first additions to the leadership series since 2011.
He has no regrets. He says he had to do it to save Obama’s presidency because of what the Republicans were doing to obstruct the president’s confirmation of judges and other legislative things.
The filibuster is nondemocratic. It has been used to the disarray of the Congress. And, certainly, it hasn’t been anything that has helped -- been helpful to the American people. It’s got to go.
Never in the history of the country, never in the history of the country have we produced more for a president and somebody that’s led his party than we’ve done together.
