Claire McCaskill opposes Harry Reid for senate minority leader

Democratic U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill said Thursday morning she will not support Nevada Democrat Harry Reid for election as Senate Minority Leader.

“Yesterday, I met with Harry Reid and told him I would not be supporting him for Minority Leader. I heard the voters of Missouri loud and clear. They want change in Washington. Common sense tells me that begins with changes in leadership,” McCaskill said in a statement.

Despite the opposition of McCaskill and likely a handful of Red State Democrats, Reid is running unopposed for the post after the party lost control of the Senate last week.
