Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid mentioned one piece of unfinished business in his farewell floor speech that could eventually be accomplished thanks to his work electing Democrats in Nevada.

Speaking about his efforts to improve transportation in his home state, Reid spoke of his crusade to take former Sen. Patrick McCarran’s name off McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas.

McCarran’s critics have pointed to a record of racism and anti-Semitism.

“I’ve tried for years to get the name taken off, a Democratic senator from Nevada who was an awful man. I tried to get his name off of that. It didn’t work,” Reid said. “Anyway, McCarran Airport, it is, I think, the fifth-busiest airport in America now. We’ve gotten money for the traffic control center, one of the largest structures in the western United States. We’ve done a good job to take care of McCarran.”

In the one of the few bright spots for Democrats in 2016, the party swept elections across Nevada, holding on to Reid’s Senate seat and picking up two House seats, as well as control of the state legislature in Carson City.
