Harry Reid is referring to the influence of wealthy donors and “super PACs” in American politics. His quote suggests that Supreme Court decisions like Citizens United have resulted in a political system dominated by competing factions of billionaires and large corporations on both sides of the aisle, rather than one where ordinary citizens hold more sway.

The best interpretation is that in Reid’s view, the Court has effectively replaced the will of the people with that of the very rich, who can spend vast sums to support their preferred candidates through unlimited political donations and advertising campaigns.
