Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called the late Harry Reid 'one of the most amazing individuals I've ever met.'
Former President Barack Obama, who worked closely with Reid during his time in office, shared a letter he had written to Reid at the behest of the late senator's wife, Landra Reid, toward the end of his life., and early on you were more generous to me than I had any right to expect. I wouldn't have been president had it not been for your encouragement and support, and I wouldn't have gotten most of what I got done without your skill and determination.
"Our country has lost an honorable public servant," said Vice President Kamala Harris."Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid always fought for working families and the poor. Leader Reid was kind, generous, and always to the point. Landra and the entire Reid family are in our thoughts." "His counsel, encouragement, kindness, and generosity was so deeply moving. It was sincere. And I will never forget it. Thank you, Senator Reid. Wishing peace and strength to his family."
Senator Chris Murphy tweeted:"I feel so lucky to have served under Harry Reid, and so sad he's gone."
