Iowa should host the first in the nation caucuses to kick off the presidential candidate nomination process – that’s the belief of Senator Chuck Grassley. The Senator says Iowans take the job seriously and take the time to learn about and meet with many candidates leading up to the caucuses. He adds he’s enthusiastic about the field of Republicans this election cycle. He encourages Iowans to take part in the caucuses Monday night.

On the Democratic side in Iowa, Hillary Clinton has 46% and Bernie Sanders is less than a percentage point away at 45.4%.
