Harry Reid Wants Nevada to Go First

Former Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) made Nevada a battleground state. Now, he tells the Los Angeles Times, he wants to “elbow aside Iowa and New Hampshire, the states that go first and second in picking the nation’s president, and start the nominating process in Nevada.”

Said Reid: “I think we’re entitled to be the first state. Why? Because the power structure of this country is moving West.”

“With that, ever so matter-of-factly, the retired senator would upend 50 years of political practice and tradition.”
