Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid spoke this morning about the outpouring of support his family has received not only from his Senate colleagues but also from people across the country after his wife and daughter were injured in a car accident last Thursday.
He took the opportunity to thank those that sent him and his family hundreds of emails and phone calls to offer their thoughts and prayers.
“We often say the Senate is a family. I’m reminded of it time and time again when both triumph and tragedy unite us,” Reid said. “The tremendous outpouring of support for my wife and daughter from people across Nevada and the nation and from this Senate family has deeply touched all of us.”
He took the opportunity to thank those that sent him and his family hundreds of emails and phone calls to offer their thoughts and prayers.
“The kindness and concern was overwhelming and really humbling,” Reid said. “It was a close call, but we’re grateful it wasn’t worse and are confident she’ll be making a full recovery. It won’t be tomorrow or the next day, but she’ll be back on her feet as soon as she can.
“Landra and I have been married for 50 years,” Reid added. “She is the strongest and most selfless person I know. If anyone can recover, it is she.”
