Reid Says Cruz Wants to Run for President

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said in forthcoming interview that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) did what he did during the government shutdown because he wants to run for president, the Washington Post reports.

Said Reid: “In an effort to help him run for president, he has done some stuff that’s really damaging to our country. He’s been attempting to raise money. And who has he hurt? He has hurt average Americans. The government being shutdown for 14 or 15 days, that has been very hurtful to people. Not only the people that work for government, but the people who work around government.”
