What’s Next After Iowa: Networks Plan Debates And Town Hall In Expectation Of Ongoing 2024 Race

After tonight’s Iowa caucuses, networks are planning for a packed week of political events — but the events hinge on the race remaining one between former President Donald Trump and his two main rivals.
