Reid on meeting with Brown
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid met for about 10 minutes this morning with Sen.-elect Scott Brown, the Republican from Massachusetts whose election on Tuesday has scrambled the math in the Senate and has caused the White House and congressional Democrats to re-evaluate their agenda.
Brown was making a series of courtesy calls on Capitol Hill in advance of his swearing in, which could take place in the next week or so.
Here is Reid's statement following the meeting:
"I had a pleasant meeting with Senator-elect Brown and I look forward to working with him. We have many issues to address over the coming year including helping our struggling economy, keeping families in their homes and creating jobs for out of work Americans. It is my hope that Senator-elect Brown will work with us to address these many issues as we move forward.”
