Congress honored the late Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda Wednesday, where he laid in-state. Reid, who served Nevada in the upper chamber for three decades, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in early 2018. He died Dec. 28 at age 82. Reid was the longest-serving senator in Nevada's history and presided over the upper chamber as majority leader from 2007 to 2015. He gained a reputation for soft-spoken ruthlessness as he clawed his way from Nevada’s lieutenant governor’s office to the pinnacle of the U.S. Senate. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y,. spoke first, calling Reid a “dear friend and mentor.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., noted Reid's decades of work in the Capitol, and said this is “where his portrait hangs, in these hallowed halls, offering a source of strength and inspiration to us all. From his humble roots in Searchlight (Nevada) to the spotlight of Capitol Hill, his entire life was defined by defined long odds.” Swipe to see more from the ceremony, and tap our link in bio to read more about Reid's life and career. 📷: Pool photos
