ï•«

The action has begun as all the talk and turmoil of the 2016 presidential election has led to the presidential caucus in Iowa in which the nomination process of the candidates will begin.

Although the caucus in Iowa is not by any means a deciding nomination for the presidential candidates, it does set the stage for the rest of the nation and play an important role in each candidate’s approach to their campaign.

The caucus in Iowa is the first of many for both Republicans and Democrats, each of which have a different caucus procedure, and these first real votes will lead the nation in its presidential nominations in July.
