Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) pledged “to work with Republicans when they are in the majority and eschew the strategy of obstruction he has accused them of using against Democrats,” The Hill reports.
Said Reid: “I am ready… to work with him in good faith to make this institution function again for the American people. I saw firsthand how a strategy of destruction was debilitating to our system. I have no desire to engage in that manner.”
