Pres. Biden: 'Let there be no doubt: Harry Reid will be considered one of the greatest senate majority leaders in history... he believed life—and he lived it—and he left it believing anything was possible.'
President Joe Biden talks about his administration's response to wildfires, during a visit to Louisville, Colo., Friday, Jan. 7, 2022. Biden and first lady Jill Biden met with families and toured a Louisville neighborhood impacted by a recent wildfire.
Obama said that when Reid helped pass the Affordable Care Act, “he didn’t do it to burnish his own legacy,” recalling how as a boy Reid’s family was so poor that Reid himself pulled out one of his father’s teeth. Leif Reid said it was “part of the narrative” of his father’s life, and tried to explain that the gesture was more about Reid preserving time for family.
“Sometimes I even called him back and said Harry, ’I was singing your praises,” Pelosi said. To which Reid replied: “I don’t want to hear it," she said, before she’d hear the phone click dead. In 1970, at age 30, he was elected state lieutenant governor with Democratic Gov. Mike O’Callaghan. Reid was elected to the House in 1982 and the Senate in 1986.
