Thursday, August 8, 2019: Presidential Hopefuls Campaigning At Iowa State Fair

Plus, a Trump fundraiser is causing a lot of headaches for Equinox and SoulCycle. And no presidential campaign is complete without a trek back to Iowa for the state fair. Today's Panel: Toluse Olorunnipa with The Washington Post, Heather Caygle with POLITICO, Michael Shear with The New York Times, and Elana Schor with the Associated Press. Also on the Program: CNN's Kaitlan Collins, Jeff Zeleny, and Cristina Alesci.
