Harry Reid, former Senate majority leader and Democratic kingmaker, dies at 82
Harry Reid, who rose from abject poverty in rural Nevada to become one of the most influential state and national leaders, died on Tuesday, sources confirmed to The Nevada Independent. He was 82.
Additional details were not immediately available.
Reid was thought to be ending the near of his life when he underwent surgery in 2018 for pancreatic cancer, which has one of the lowest survival rates. Last summer, however, Reid announced that he underwent an experimental surgery and was declared in “complete remission” and cancer-free.
Over more than three decades of service in Congress, Reid earned a reputation for fighting relentlessly to protect his home state and everyday Americans. As Senate Democratic leader for a dozen years, he played an instrumental role in passing the Affordable Care Act and shepherding through Congress pivotal economic recovery legislation in the wake of the Great Recession.
No comment.
Every case is different. Not all stage 4 cancers are the same. If caught early in stage 4, time of survival could be quite a bit longer. The one sure thing is that sooner or later, stage 4 pancreatic cancer is going to win.
I have stage 4 metastatic prostate cancer. 5 year survival rate is about 50%, but it’s been 7+ years for me and I am responding extremely well. I expect to be around for the cure or die of something else.
That was my thought too. Or he knew it wasn’t true and lied out loud of habit.
God Bless you and keep you healthy
You’re a good Christian, DJ.
But I’m with Hale,.
God’s prerogative to forgive that POS, not mine. Good riddance. One less corrupt commie POS to hurt decent people.
