Schumer, Pelosi remember Harry Reid as he lies in state

The Nevada statesman, who was 82 when he died after a battle with pancreatic cancer, was known as an influential and pugnacious fighter during an era of deepening partisanship in Washington.

Reid helped secure congressional passage of former President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law in 2010 over sharp opposition from Republicans. Obama said in his eulogy at Reid's funeral last week in Las Vegas that he could not have asked for a better friend.
