Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid scored an unexpected invitation from Angus King to visit the independent senator’s home state of Maine.

The invitation came after the Nevada Democrat conceded in a floor speech recognizing National Travel and Tourism Week, with King presiding over the chamber, that Reid had only once visited the state that calls itself Vacationland.
