River to River, hosted by Ben Kieffer

Everything seemed to go well during the 2020 Iowa Democratic caucuses — until it came time for results. Welcome back to Caucus Land.

There was no momentum for any candidates on caucus night because of a faulty smartphone app. President Joe Biden had a poor showing and signaled the DNC to move Iowa back in the calendar, ending the state’s coveted first-in-the-nation position.

In this episode of Caucus Land '24, Clay Masters brings listeners through the events that led to a complete change for the Iowa Democratic Caucus.
