Former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele will bring his services to MSNBC, where he will serve as a political analyst. The move is effective immediately, according to network president Phil Griffin.
Steele has been a frequent guest on MSNBC but this move brings him on board full-time.
"I'm thrilled to have Michael join MSNBC," said Griffin in a statement. "His strong voice and opinions will be a great addition to all of our programs."
Steele was the first African-American chairman of the RNC, a post he left earlier this year.
"It's an honor to contribute and engage in the dialogue on MSNBC," said Steele. "I'm sure our discussions will be both informative and a bit spirited!"
