Harry Reid returns to work after exercise injury

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) returned to the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday after missing the first two weeks of the new session.

Reid, 75, broke ribs and bones in his face in late December when the resistance band he was exercising with snapped. The band also hit and seriously injured his eye.

Reid won't attend President Barack Obama's State of the Union Address on Tuesday night, according to The Associated Press.
