No NRA Endorsement for Harry Reid

August 27, 2010 3:54 P.M.

By Jim Geraghty   

The NRA will not be endorsing Harry Reid. NRA Political Victory Fund Director Chris Cox just issued this statement:

In the coming days and weeks, the NRA Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF) will be announcing endorsements and candidate ratings in hundreds

of federal races, as well as thousands of state legislative races. Unless these announcements are required by the timing of primary or special

elections, the NRA-PVF generally does not issue endorsements while important legislative business is pending. The NRA-PVF also operates

under a long-standing policy that gives preference to incumbent candidates who have voted with the NRA on key issues, which is explained in

more detail here.

The U.S. Senate recently considered a number of issues important to NRA members, including the confirmation of Elena Kagan to the

Supreme Court. Out of respect for the confirmation process, the NRA did not announce its position on Ms. Kagan’s confirmation until the

conclusion of her testimony before the Senate Judiciary committee. Her evasive testimony exacerbated grave concerns we had about her

long-standing hostility towards the Second Amendment. As a result, the NRA strongly opposed her confirmation and made it clear at the time

that we would be scoring this important vote.

The vote on Elena Kagan’s confirmation to the Court, along with the previous year’s confirmation vote on Sonia Sotomayor, are critical for the

future of the Second Amendment. After careful consideration, the NRA-PVF announced today that it will not be endorsing Senate Majority

Leader Harry Reid for re-election in the 2010 U.S. Senate race in Nevada.
