January 15, 2019 "Morning Joe" hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski made the announcement Tuesday morning during an interview with McCaskill on the MSNBC show.
"There needs to be pressure put on those people who are feeling the pressure, in terms of public statements, and then you'll see (Mitch) McConnell go to work," McCaskill said of the government shutdown. "McConnell can do this in his sleep."

January 15, 2019 Scarborough says McCaskill will "provides critical insights into what ails Washington."
One of her first big assignments will be helping MSNBC during its coverage of President Donald Trump's State of the Union Address.
After losing in November to Republican Josh Hawley, McCaskill stated her time in public office was done, but she wasn't "going to disappear."
