Harry Reid, former Democrat Senate leader, dead at 82

Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid died Tuesday at his home at the age of 82. 

The Democratic lawmaker from Nevada served as majority leader from 2007 to 2015.

His death was confirmed by The Nevada Independent CEO Jon Ralston. 

"I'll have a lot to say about Reid, who I covered for three and a half decades and whom I am writing a book about," Ralson wrote on Twitter. "He was a remarkable figure, underestimated and misunderstood by many, with so many contradictory traits."
