| Description | Harry Reid’s allies finally found an accomplice to help quash the not-so-subtle whisper campaign about who will replace him as majority leader: his opponent, Sharron Angle.
Now that Angle looks eminently beatable in the fall, Reid is being treated less like an eccentric old uncle on life support and more like a Senate majority leader with long-term staying power.
In the private corridors of the Senate, the conversation has already shifted.
Instead of gossiping about how Sens. Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin might position themselves for majority leader, senators and aides who spoke with POLITICO are already asking different questions. Would Reid stay as majority leader for six more years? Or would he hold onto the title for a couple of years, then help handpick his replacement? And might he grab a powerful chairmanship down the road? |
