LAS VEGAS — Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is quick to warn Hillary Clinton and her campaign of over-confidence in her battle against Donald Trump, but he expects the Democratic nominee to campaign in both Georgia and Arizona — both traditionally Republican states at the presidential level — before November.

“If you look at Georgia — Georgia, last re-elect for President Obama, he never stepped foot in Georgia, but yet he lost by about three percent. Georgia’s Hillary Clinton’s, and I’m glad she’s going to be campaigning there,” the Nevada senator told reporters here, noting that he also expects Clinton to campaign in Arizona. After introducing the Democratic nominee at a campaign rally held in an IBEW hall here, Reid also praised the campaign and super PAC’s decision to scale back advertising in Colorado and Virginia, which look to be trending Clinton’s way.


“This is unbelievable. Utah. Utah! Utah — you know, they don’t like Trump — he’s their nominee. I know that’s far-fetched, but I think they’re going to be sending people out to Utah."

“I hope the map is expanded,” he added, repeatedly cautioning that he wants Democrats not to grow too optimistic about their chances. “That’d be good for the country."
