The Circus (2016)

Episode Overview

In the season opener, The Circus showcases its dramatic flair as the impeachment trial of President Donald J. Trump kicks off, just days before the crucial Iowa caucuses. With three of the leading five presidential hopefuls present in the Senate chamber to hear the proceedings, the Iowa contest is too competitive to call. Biden and Buttigieg seize the opportunity to dominate the state, while Senators Sanders, Warren, and Klobuchar depend on surrogates at their campaign events and conduct interviews during off-hours from Washington, D.C.
