COLUMBUS, Ohio — Former presidential candidate and Ohio Governor John Kasich announced that he has taken on a new role for NBC News and MSNBC.
Kasich will be joining the newsrooms as a political analyst. He tweeted Monday, "Grateful for the opportunity to start this new chapter as a political analyst for NBCNews and MSNBC."
