The Impact of Iowa: Obama’s Launch and Trump’s Emergence

In this special episode of The NPR Politics Podcast we sat down with Iowa Public Radio's lead political reporter Clay Masters to talk about why Iowa's caucus comes first in the presidential election and why that matters.

Masters explored the history and impact of the caucuses in IPR's new podcast Caucus Land, and we deep dive on the key things he learned while hitting the road and following the 2020 presidential candidates.

This episode: White House correspondent Tamara Keith and senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro.
