Harry Reid was a terrific U.S Senator, he was a patriot and he was also tough as nails. He started life as a boxer, then a member of the Capitol Police and finally a fierce and unwavering fighter for Nevada and all Americans. I was grateful for his advice - may he Rest in Peace.

7/ Then he hung up.

He spent the rest of day relentlessly pressuring McConnell agree to my demands for votes on background checks bills.
By midnight, Reid had succeeded. He got the votes.
The lesson I learned - there's nothing like having Harry Reid in your corner.
I feel so lucky to have served under Harry Reid, and so sad he's gone.

You'll hear a ton of great Harry Reid stories in the next few days, but here's my favorite - my phone call with him in June 2016 to tell him I was about to launch a filibuster on guns.https://t.co/7tIVY1Va0d
Our country has lost an honorable public servant. 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. pic.twitter.com/9dE1FY7p9i

A son of Searchlight, Nevada, Harry never forgot his humble roots. A boxer, he never gave up a fight. A great American, he looked at challenges and believed it was within our capacity to do good — to do right.

May God bless Harry Reid, a dear friend and a giant of our history.
Sometimes, in a quiet or difficult moment, Harry Reid would reach out. It was like he knew.
— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) December 29, 2021
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.
President Biden: "May God bless Harry Reid, a dear friend and a giant of our history."

President Biden praises his longtime friend: "Harry Reid and I grew up on different sides of the country, but we came from the same place where certain values run deep. Loyalty. Faith. Resolve. Service..."

A poignant letter from @BarackObama to Harry Reid in his final days. He’s almost certainly right about how he wouldn’t have become President without Reid’s encouragement. Reid encouraged Obama to run back when few people thought it was a winning idea. pic.twitter.com/QdrJKVzYrM

Harry Reid was a champion for Nevada. He was powerful and effective, and he fought for our state every day. He was a friend and mentor to many, and the Cortez family and I will miss him.

Saddened to learn of the passing of Harry Reid—a statesman, a gentleman and a Democratic institution. We’ll feel his effect on our nation for years to come. He’ll be sharply missed.

Harry Reid was an outstanding leader and a friend. I have fond memories of working with him on important issues impacting working families, including the vast expansion of community health centers. Jane and I will miss him and send our condolences to Landra and the entire family.

Senator Reid told me he wanted the filibuster ended to pass voting rights and Joe Biden’s agenda. So you and he were not on the same side of history, Senator. https://t.co/Se32jUzcfm https://t.co/b6h28QpL0c

Harry Reid was the best. A humble man who never forgot his Searchlight roots. A boxer who had a caring heart. A loyal friend who stood by you through thick and thin. A lucky man who found the love of his life in high school and lived his life with her. https://t.co/qjCEx7plgl

Harry Reid was my first Leader, and tough as old gristle. My condolences go to Landra and his family and friends on his passing.
