Reid won't talk about veto override next to Schumer

Democratic Minority Leader Harry Reid refused to say Thursday why he cast the lone Senate vote against overriding President Obama’s veto of a controversial bill, but indicated he was trying to avoid a public fight with Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who supported the override.

“No, no. I got my friend here, I’m not going to do that,” Reid said, referring to Schumer. “And its not the first time I’ve done it. If you go back and look at my record, I’ve been the only guy a number of times.”
