Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, one of the most powerful figures in Washington during the Obama administration, died Tuesday after battling pancreatic cancer. He was 82 years old.
A onetime amateur boxer and product of the Las Vegas Democratic machine, Reid spent four years in the House of Representatives before he was elected to the Senate in 1986.
He spent the next 30 years in the upper chamber of Congress, serving as majority leader from 2007 until 2015.
