Donald Trump and Jeb Bush took shots at each other, and each defended using the controversial term “anchor babies” when talking about what should be done about children whose parents immigrate to the United States and win birthright citizenship for them.

Hillary Clinton spent the week struggling against a stream of news stories about emails she sent from a private server while she was Secretary of State. That’s just the tip of the iceberg in news of the week in 2016 campaign politics.

Kay Henderson of Radio Iowa and Enrique Acevedo of Univision discuss the latest in the presidential race with Here & Now’s Jeremy Hobson and Peter O’Dowd.
