Battered and bruised physically as well as politically, Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, 75, is still planning to run for re-election next year, even as Republicans target him as the "most vulnerable" senator "right now."
Despite serious injuries from an exercise accident, Reid is working with allies to launch a fundraising blitz with a big campaign event this month and three in February, Politico reports.
The Nevada Democrat told Las Vegas radio station KNPR he is planning to run for a sixth term in 2016 and is confident that he can lead the Democratic minority through the next two years.
"I’ve been elected [by Senate Democrats] to run the Senate for two years, and I am in the process of getting set up for the next go around," Reid said, referring to his leadership of the new Democratic minority.
Asked if the accident — which damaged his right eye, broke four ribs and fractured bones in his face — would cause him to drop out of the next campaign, he answered emphatically, "No."

Well, government does attract various psychopaths.
We need a cyclops in the senate.
This is ridiculous. I can see right now Reid will be one of those vainglorious politicians who thinks the world will stop turning without him. He’ll demand to be carried into the Congressional Chambers, while tied to a gurney with IV tubes in place.
I’m hearing that some of the younger Dems want the Olde Guard to move on out, otherwise it limits their chance to make any career advancement. They finally shook Barbara Boxer off the Willow Branch, next it’s Di-Fi’s turn to shop online for a new Government Made Rocking Chair
with matching Ottoman.
Likely true.
Ditch Mitch has no interest/demonstrated capability.
Is this the Harry Reid who lives in the Ritz Carlton? He is the one who claims to need money?
If you almost die in an exercise accident ,life is telling you to RETIRE
Sheesh. He still has two years and starting to work fundraising already. That is the problem with politics on both sides. They have to raise so much money that they don’t do the job.
I’d very much like to contribute, but I’m a bit short on funds right now...
Can I contribute something in kind? I’d like to send y’a a dark grey band for your treadmill. I’m sure it will be really useful in future, I hear your old one got damaged.
“Running for a sixth term”—because 30 years of destruction is just not enough.
Hopalong Harry reminds me of some kind of freaky Ike Clanton from Tombstone.
An exercise accident... sure, Harry... You are such a fine physical specimen, after all... I'd sooner believe you got worked over by some "rough trade" in a truck stop mens' room.
Now I understand the black eye, broken ribs. He’s going for the sympathy appeal to raise campaign money.
Old “Popeye’’ Reid.
I'm guessing the mormon church is happy.........
Despite serious injuries from an exercise accident
Yo, Harry, that will teach you not to peek though
key holes....
The Pervert from Sparks...
He could pay for it all himself....today!
He wants FREE money.............
LOLOLOL.
