Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has been hospitalized after falling ill, his office said Friday.
A spokesman for Reid said the 74-year-old senator was alert and feeling better. His statement did not provide any details about Reid's illness.
“Early this morning, Senator Reid was not feeling well and as a precaution decided to go to the hospital. Tests have been conducted and everything is normal. He is alert, resting and feeling better,” said Reid’s spokesperson Adam Jentleson. “Doctors have asked that he remain in the hospital for observation so he will not be working today.”
Reid worked late into Thursday night and early Friday morning to broker a deal to hold nomination votes before the Senate adjourned, which is expected later Friday.
The majority leader suffered a mild stroke in 2005, leaving him in the hospital and forcing him to cancel some events.
On Friday, Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said on the Senate floor that he would be replacing Reid for the day.
“I spoke with him this morning and he sounded good,” Durbin said. “We look forward to his speedy recovery.”

If the casino’s in Nevada are suffering loss of income due to Reid’s pushing Obamacare down the throats of Americans, he might need to use some food tasters and hand selected RNs and MDs.
They’re checking to see if he has a heart. The signs don’t look good.
PRAYING HARD FOR HIM!
(please do not make me reveal the content of those prayers)
Actually Harry’s darn lucky he represents Nevada.
If he represented Alaska, Harry’d be on the ice floe w/ the rest of the older Eskimos, floating off into the Arctic Ocean.
It wouldn't mesh with a Durbin Senate, either. In fact, it doesn't mesh with a Senate run by Democrats, PERIOD.
Grandpa always said you can pray for a happy death.
Stroke out Harry you POS!
I think that's a California thing, but Nevada may have an equivalent statute.
“Reid worked late into Thursday night..”
There’s the problem. He is allergic to work.
5.56mm
Obviously not a problem with his heart or his brain, since he has neither.
Wasn’t it a couple of days ago that he was confidently talking about serving as Senate majority leader for many more years?
My policy is not to stand too close to folks who make such boasts, because the Majority Leader of the Universe may well have other plans.
He’s just tired folks. Poor baby.
I don’t. Drop dead traitor.

In my heart I believe Harry Reid is an evil human being. I can’t wish death on him. It’s not in me, just as wishing him good health isn’t there either.
“Calling Mengele Zeke Emanuel”
The best thing about the UK’s medical system is the number of formerly highly placed officials in it that have been killed by the very system they administered for their entire career. The most recent died of cancer while waiting for her second doctor visit in eight more months. Hadn’t even begun treatment. Sometimes there is justice.
“Reid Hospitalized For Observation”
Ohhhhhh.....they caught him observing in the ladies room again, the old pervert.
He has been needing mental observation for a long time.
The little turd thinks he is a wheel.
That’s OK I am sure the Demmies over on their web site are noting how cruel we are over here.
Like we care.
