Source: The Hill

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) has joined NBC News and MSNBC as a political analyst per an announcement on "Morning Joe" Tuesday morning.

“I’m looking forward to bringing my experience from the Senate, hard fought campaigns, and Midwest common sense to the coverage of breaking political events. And, as always, I won’t hold back,” McCaskill said in a statement.

The former two-term senator also tweeted out a photo early Tuesday morning of her arriving at Manhattan's Rockefeller's Center for her first day of work.

Claire is one smart cookie. Missouri made a bad mistake, but I understand millions were poured in ahainst her.

Kasich is trying so hard to be moderate. I am thinking DeWine really will be. He knows Trump has destroyed his party and is basically decent. Democrats think he will work with them. Kasich would not.
