News Networks Descend on Des Moines for 2024 Iowa Caucuses

The 2024 Iowa caucuses will convene statewide on Monday, Jan. 15 at 7 p.m. local time (8 p.m. EST).

Both the Democratic and Republican caucuses will be held on Monday. However, the Republican caucuses are capturing the lion’s share of the attention this year, which makes sense considering the number of candidates in its 2024 presidential primary race and its status as the opposition party to the sitting president.

As one might expect, the television news outlets are going all in on coverage of an event which marks the formal start of the 2024 presidential primary election cycle.
