Reid’s Power Play Rankles Republicans



“Senate Republicans emerged from their weekly luncheon Tuesday with a clear directive from party leaders: Don’t let Harry Reid get away with acting like he’s still majority leader,” Politico reports.

“They reacted with frustration and amusement to the Nevada Democrat’s latest gambit to block bipartisan trade legislation that he and much of his caucus oppose unless Republicans first address his demands. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell implored his caucus to band together against Reid, sources inside the room said.”
