Harry Reid
WASHINGTON, DC - MAY 09: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) (2nd R) and Senate Budget Committee Chairman Patty Murray (D-WA) (R) answer reporters questions before a Senate Democratic Policy Committee luncheon meeting at the U.S. Captiol May 9, 2013 in Washington, DC. Murray said Senate Republicans are holding the budget process ÒhostageÓ after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) objected for a fifth time to appoint conferees to work out the massive differences between the House and Senate budget resolutions.
