There's lots of action in the early 2016 presidential race.

A second Republican presidential candidate entered the race Tuesday: Sen. Rand Paul, of Kentucky, is a libertarian who calls himself a “different kind of Republican.” He joins fellow GOP Sen. Ted Cruz – who is rising in the polls.

And Democrat and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appears poised to enter soon. She’s reportedly picked a location for her campaign headquarters.

To talk about all of this, our political team, Democratic political strategist Dan Payne and Republican strategist Todd Domke, join Morning Edition.
