Episode 148: The Raucous Iowa Caucus

Iowa is upon us! The Sunday morning political shows went all in for Iowa—with many hosts broadcasting straight from the Hawkeye state (except Chris Wallace, who was in Miami for the Super Bowl!). This week, we take a close look at Iowa, from the questions lobbed at candidates to the role of the shows in framing the decisions facing Iowans.

Then, there’s Impeachment. We discuss Chuck Todd’s exclusive interview with Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN) and how Adam Schiff is responding to criticism of the House process.

Don’t miss our special episode on Friday’s Democratic debate—showing up in your feeds on Saturday morning!
