On this Politics Day edition of River to River, host Ben Kieffer speaks with Rachel Caufield of Drake University and Kelly Shaw of Iowa State about the changing abortion landscape, as well as SNAP restrictions in Iowa recently approved by the USDA and concerns raised by Senate Republicans over President Donald Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill."

  • Rachel Caufield, professor and co-chair, department of political science, Drake University
