On Tuesday, like most Tuesdays, Sen. Ron Wyden headed to the Senate Caucus lunch. But on this day, he accidentally walked in on the wrong party’s gathering.  

According to a source in the room at the Republican Caucus lunch, the Oregon Democrat walked into the room and looked around for “seven to 10 seconds,” before staff informed him that he was in the wrong room.  

He “laughed and shook his head,” then exited the room.  

The mistake is perhaps understandable. Republicans, as the majority party, were lunching in the room that Democrats ate in until January, when they became the minority in the new Congress.
