Democratic leader resting after mini-stroke

? Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid of Nevada spent Saturday with family and friends, his public appearances canceled after he experienced a brief “mini-stroke” that aides said caused no complications.

“He’s resting for the weekend like most people do,” said press secretary Tessa Hafen. “He did reiterate he’s fine and OK.”

Reid, 65, revealed Friday that he had seen a doctor after feeling lightheaded Tuesday evening at his home in Searchlight, about an hour south of Las Vegas. He was told he had experienced a mini-stroke called a transient ischemic attack.

Hafen said Reid experienced no speech difficulties or physical symptoms associated with strokes, and after medical evaluations, he was told there were no complications and that he didn’t need to restrict his activities.
