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.
