It’s Official: Rendell to Join NBC News

As we reported yesterday, Ed Rendell has been nearing a deal to join the NBC news political team. Well the wait is over, and the Governor is going on television.

It is not immediately clear whether this means more or less camera time for Rendell, who appeared on the network so often that it seemed like he had his own office at MSNBC.

Here’s the release (h/t Capitol Ideas):

Former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell has been named NBC News political analyst. The announcement was made today by Steve Capus, President of NBC News, and is effective immediately.

In this new role, Gov. Rendell, who has been a frequent guest on NBC News broadcasts for years, will contribute to NBC News and MSNBC.

“Governor Rendell has never been afraid to share his thoughtful analysis on national and local issues and he couldn’t be a better fit for NBC News,” said Capus. “His extensive experience serving the people of Pennsylvania gives him a unique perspective and we’re thrilled to have him on board.”

“I’m excited about this new opportunity with NBC because I believe our country faces critical challenges in the next two years,” said Rendell. “The ability to have my voice heard and create an impact on the political discourse is exciting to me and is an extension of my continued commitment to public life.”
