Harry Reid

Is it true that your family came to the State of Florida around the turn of the 19th century?

Is it true that your family first came to Florida in 1829 or somewhere in there--a long time ago?

Last week the voters of the United Kingdom stunned the world by voting to exit the European Union. The vote was close, but ultimately the electorate decided to sever the United Kingdom from the European Union, an organization they had been…

Last night the Republican leader filed cloture on the McCain amendment. The Republican leader has committed to a Democratic alternative pending to the McCain amendment, and we have one. We have it ready now, and we will have it typed up…

Reserving the right to object, every time I come to the floor when my friend is on the floor speaking, I need not tell everyone within the sound of my voice how much I admire him and the service he has rendered to our country, both as a…

I join the Republican leader in recognizing the contributions of law enforcement officers all around this country. I am sorry that they have such a tough job, and I don't think we appreciate them enough. So I appreciate what the Republican…

Brad Hatcher, who is serving as my legislative fellow for defense issues this year, has done a terrific job. We are so fortunate to have the military we do have, and he exemplifies that. ____________________

I am pleased to do that. I want the record to be spread with the fact that this good man--more than any other Senator, because of what he is facing and will face in the very hot, humid, and sometimes tropical State of Florida--recognized…

It is too bad my Republican friends continue to attack ObamaCare. It is working. The ranks of the uninsured are as low as they have ever been. More people are getting access to health care, and they are healthier. More people are healthier…

I commented to my able assistant who is at my desk with me, Bill Dauster--I have always--whenever the Presiding Officer says the Pledge of Allegiance, I am amazed at how she stands at attention. It brings back her old military mind, I am…

Also, Mr. President, as to the appropriations bills, I was a longtime member of the Appropriations Committee, and I am glad we are moving forward on the appropriations bills. Why didn't we do it before? Because we had objections from the…

I commend the administration for the rule issued with fiduciary duties on investments. These advisers on investments will do a better job for consumers because of this rule. This issue is so important that it is estimated that it will save…

This side of the aisle also hopes that we can move through the FAA bill, which is important to get done. We just have to make sure we do it right. There are lots of things we need to do. I think that the bill coming from the committee, led…

Republicans' leaders created the drought conditions. Donald Trump has simply struck the match. Republicans began charting the path to Donald Trump eight years ago.

The party is simply reaping what it sowed.

They're putting politics above the law to get more people to the polls in November.

GMO, genetically modified food--that is basically what it is. What we want is to make sure consumers know what is in their food. They deserve clear standards. They require the disclosure of what is in their food, not a voluntary standard…

We are certainly pleased we are going to pass this opioid bill shortly. Everyone should understand that the bill would have had some meat if, in fact, we had an opportunity to adopt the Shaheen amendment. It would have funded the…

Earlier today, I missed the vote on the Shaheen amendment No. 3345. If I had voted, I would have voted yea. (At the request of Mr. Reid, the following statement was ordered to be printed in the Record.) <bullet> Mrs. McCASKILL. Mr…

I join the Republican leader on the need to address the scourge of opioid addiction. It is a scourge. That is why it is more important than ever that we back our words with real solutions, real resources. That is why the amendment by…

I think the middle class would be better served by Hillary.

He should pick who he thinks is the best.

I don't pick the justices but I know if he were picked, I would support the man. He's a good person. He has a great record and he's been a tremendously good Governor.

I said yesterday and I say again today that I appreciate very much the Republican leader scheduling the meeting to talk about the Zika virus today. As I indicated yesterday, things crop up. I have been called to the White House at that…

I came to the floor to listen to my friend talk about one of the most important issues that we have dealt with in this body for many years. There is no one who is more articulate and more understanding of the issues that face us in foreign…
