Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said Wednesday that he’s considering backing Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

“Look, we’ve gotten along fine,” Reid said. “With that bunch of people running, I’m kind of pulling for him.”

According to The Hill, Reid then tried to walk back his comments.

Asked about Trump’s statement, Reid added, ‘Oh, I remember the good old days when he did a fundraiser or two for me.’ Reid quickly walked back his comments, apologizing for joking about supporting Trump — whom he called a ‘hateful demagogue who will do immeasurable damage to our country.’ ‘There’s some things I shouldn’t joke about,’ he said from the Senate floor. ‘The danger of a Donald Trump candidacy to our country is not a joke.’

On Tuesday Donald Trump appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe and spoke of his good relationship with Reid. From the Washington Times:
