After losing in the mid-term election in November, former Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill is starting a new career. McCaskill joined

NBC News and MSNBC as a political analyst.

Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski made the announcement 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.

Joe Scarborough added, “Mika and I are excited to have Claire as part of the Morning Joe team. The senator not only provides critical insights into what ails Washington, but also can help us figure out how to make our government work again. Most importantly, our friend provides critical insights into the state of affairs for the Cardinals and Chiefs!”

McCaskill will offer insight and political analysis on breaking news stories across both networks beginning Tuesday. She will join MSNBC for its coverage of President Trump’s State of the Union Address on Tuesday, January, 29.

McCaskill lives in St. Louis with her husband and is a grandmother of 11.
