Gov. Tim Pawlenty will stand beside his successor, Mark Dayton, at a press conference at the Capitol tomorrow.

The joint appearance will likely be a first for Dayton and Pawlenty, who supported Rep. Tom Emmer during the campaign.

The presser will be at 2:45 p.m. at the Governor's Reception Room.

You can bet it will be transition related, but a release did not spell out what the two would be talking about.

UPDATE: My colleague Rachel Stassen-Berger just spoke with Pawlenty, who said he will "welcome [Dayton] and extend our hand." Pawlenty added he will discuss the administration, the residence, and other subjects with the incoming Democratic governor.
