Tonight Minnesotans will perform their civic duty and attend their caucus. GOP attendees will participate in a non-binding straw poll while DFLers will show support for the President.

Why will voters still caucus even though the results are non-binding and the President has no challenger? What are issues that voters will want to discuss at their respective caucus?

Kerri's guests are University of Minnesota political science professor Kathryn Pearson and Chris Farrell, the economics editor for Marketplace Money.
