2020 presidential candidates speak at the Iowa State Fair

CBS News Live 2

More than 20 of the Democratic presidential candidates are hitting the Iowa State Fair this month, where they'll talk with voters and sample the famous fair food. They'll also be addressing fairgoers at "The Soapbox," the Des Moines Register's stage at the fair. The contenders will each have 20 minutes to sell their candidacies to the voters in Iowa, by tradition the first nation to hold a nominating contest.

Fairgoers line up to get a corn dog at a concession stand during the opening day of the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. 9, 2018. Charlie Neibergall / AP
