The two Senate leaders appeared separately on CBS's "Meet the Press" Sunday, July 14, 2013, sparring on the eve of a rare closed-door session, where all senators will consider a proposal to change Senate rules to remove a 60-vote threshold for President Barack Obama's nominations to win confirmation. Reid says the changes are minimal and would help Obama round out his team. McConnell says Reid would be "breaking the rules of the Senate in order to change the rules of the Senate." (AP Photo/J.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) congratulated Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) after the GOP won control of the Senate.

“I’d like to congratulate Senator McConnell, who will be the new Senate Majority Leader. The message from voters is clear: they want us to work together. I look forward to working with Senator McConnell to get things done for the middle class,” Reid said in a statement Tuesday night.

  1. “The voters want us to work together”?
    Don’t think that was the message, Harry.

  2. This is on you Harry Reid. You couldn’t put together a clear message that the Democrats saved this country from the clutches of GOP catastrophe, and staved off GOP disastrous policies time and time again and here we are. Can you now play the spoiler as well as they did? Obstruct, obstruct, obstruct? And then convince the voters it’s THEIR fault?

    I’m not holding my breath.
