Less than one week before the Iowa caucus, the Bipartisan Policy Center hosted seasoned political operatives, journalists, and academics to lift the veil on this important but little understood contest. The Iowa caucuses, the first of the nominating contests in the 2016 presidential election, are complex. Unlike primary elections, each party has its own set of often arcane caucus rules and processes that candidates must navigate as they jockey to come out on top. We explored how caucus campaigning differs from primary campaigning and previewed the Iowa caucus scheduled for February 1.
