In the United States, the presidential elections in November will begin in earnest from today (4th). Republican candidates are virtually confirmed as Trump, but who is interested in becoming a Democratic candidate? Correspondent connects to Iowa for the first destination.

Correspondent Sohn Suk-min, the US presidential election begins with a caucus primary election, let me introduce how it goes.

Yes, about three and a half hours from the gym behind me, the caucuses, so the primary election begins.

The Caucus is a process for electing Republican and Democratic presidential candidates, and it's customary to start first here in Iowa, in the middle of the United States.

The Iowa Caucus is a small size that draws 1% of the entire delegates, but it sounds like a presidential wind vane because it's essential to get out of control.

The Democratic Party, in particular, has never been elected as a candidate who has failed to win Iowa in the last four races.

I have heard firsthand the importance of the state of Iowa.

[Smith / Democrat supporters: Democrats all want to nominate someone who can beat Trump in November. That's why I'm looking for a candidate to show strength early.]

What about the situation you saw in the field?

There are three candidates from the Republican party, and there is no doubt that it will be a Trump presidential event.

In the Democratic Party, he is a vice-political politician, a candidate for Biden, a symbol of progress, and a recent surge in Sands.

In particular, if the enthusiastic young people of Sanders are coming to the polls today, it is an observation that Sanders will have an advantage.
