Former Texas Governor Rick Perry and South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham brought the 2016 GOP field to 10 when they entered the race this week, and another five candidates are expected later this month.

Former Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee this week became Hillary Clinton’s third Democratic Party challenger. Yesterday Clinton called out her Republican rivals by name, in a speech slamming the GOP for rolling back voting rights.

NPR’s Tamara Keith and NH1’s Paul Steinhauser discuss the latest in the race for 2016 with Here & Now’s Jeremy Hobson.
