Harry Reid’s office just announced that he’ll be meeting with Al Franken later today, and will be holding a photo opportunity prior to the meeting itself.
Reid’s office informs TPMDC that the two of them will be discussing the upcoming legislative agenda — essentially a recognition by Reid of Franken as the legitimate Senator-in-waiting from Minnesota, and an apparent desire to make sure Franken is ready to get to work once he eventually takes the seat.
Of course, Franken might otherwise just be a plain old freshman Senator were it not for a unique quirk of Minnesota election law, which has thus far allowed Norm Coleman to bottle up Franken’s 225-vote win in the Minnesota Senate race and prevent Franken from being issued a certificate of election.
Late Update: The Huffington Post reports that Coleman is also making his way around Capitol Hill, in order to speak with Washington reporters.
