Sen. Harry Reid Announces He‘s Backing Iran Nuclear Deal

President Obama‘s campaign to win support for the nuclear deal with Iran got a forceful boost Sunday when Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada announced his endorsement. Reid, the Senate‘s top Democrat, says he will „do everything in [his] power“ to make sure the deal stands.

Reid‘s backing adds even more weight to a groundswell of support building on Capitol Hill for the deal between the U.S., Iran and five other nations.
