Sen. Harry Reid summoned dozens of staffers to the Senates Mansfield Room Tuesday and delivered a clear message: Hes running for reelection next year.
The comments are in part aimed at putting to rest growing speculation inside the Senate that the 75-year-old Nevada Democrat badly hurt from a painful injury to his right eye would call it quits after nearly three decades in the chamber. The Senate minority leader faces what could be a difficult reelection race next year, plus his would-be successors are ready to run the Democratic Caucus the moment he calls it quits.
But Reid told roughly 50 aides at an unusual all-staff briefing just off the Senate floor that he is definitely running in 2016, prompting a round of applause, according to attendees. And in a brief interview with POLITICO, Reid made clear that hes directed his top political aide, Rebecca Lambe, to continue hiring senior-level staff, including a campaign manager.
I talked to Rebecca this week, they are still interviewing people, the answer is yes, Reid said when asked if he was 100 percent committed to running.
Asked if there was anything that could change his mind, Reid said: Im running. You asked a question that has no answer. Im going to run.

He needs to spend the rest of his life in a padded chamber.
Old leftys with gold plated healthcare tend to live very long lives (Soros, Castro bros, J. Carter, etc).
Harry will likely serve another 3 terms in the Senate. I suspect his goal is to directly from the Capitol bldg to the mortuary.
Running what...? A douche bag factory?
“: ‘I’m running’ in 2016”
I hope he trips and breaks his face..................again.
He's hoping to be carried over the line by cankles herself.
Unless the mafia tells Harry not to run.
If popular Nevada Governor Sandoval runs against Reid then Reid is history.
"What bank shall I transfer this nice pile of greenbacks to?"
Will the NRA be backing him again?
If there’s ANTHING I can do to put it where this apostate Mormon’s sun don’t shine, I will. He’s a disgrace to his state, a HUGE disgrace to his religion, and a disgrace to humankind.
