On Wednesday, The Late Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid Will Be Laid To Rest In The Rotunda Of The United States Capitol.

Reid, a three-decade member of the Nevada Senate, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in early 2018. He died on December 28th, at the age of 82.

Reid was Nevada's longest-serving senator, and as majority leader from 2007 to 2015, he ruled over the upper house. As he battled his way from Nevada's lieutenant governor's office to the apex of the US Senate, he earned a reputation for soft-spoken brutality.

The practice of paying honor to notable Americans at the Capitol Rotunda began in 1852. According to the Office of the Historian, just 35 people have been given the distinction of lying in state in the last 169 years.
