The candidates have just one more weekend to make their final pitches to voters ahead of the first presidential contest of the year, the Iowa caucuses.

In their final debate last night before the caucuses, the GOP candidates attacked each other on immigration reform, and also trained their fire on Democrat Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump skipped the debate and held an event to benefit veterans. Meanwhile, Clinton and Bernie Sanders are locked in a dead heat in Iowa.

Here & Now‘s Robin Young is on the ground in the Hawkeye State, where she discussed the latest campaign news with Joyce Russell, reporter for Iowa Public Radio, and Kay Henderson, news director for Radio Iowa.
