The Heat discusses the US Presidential elections

The Heat

Americans may not head to the polls until November 2016 but presidential campaigning is already underway in a race with some familiar names.

A Bush and a Clinton are running for President of the United States – For some Americans, this looks more like a past election than a future one.

With a rapidly growing field of candidates and potentially billions of dollars being spent, this campaign season is shaping up to be one of the most expensive in history.

CCTV Correspondent Jim Spellman provided an update.

The Heat discussed the elections with a panel:

  • Lara Brown, political scientist and director of the graduate programs in political management at George Washington University.
  • Simon Marks is the president and chief correspondent for Feature Story News.
  • Jane Hall is a veteran journalist who now teaches journalism at American University.
  • The Heat continued its discussion.
