Washington (CNN) Fresh off Sen. Kamala Harris' announcement that she is running for the White House in 2020, the California Democrat heads to Iowa next Monday to face questions from the state's influential voters at a town hall hosted by CNN's Jake Tapper. The CNN town hall at Drake University in Des Moines -- which will air at 10 p.m. ET, 9 p.m. CT and 7 p.m. PT -- will offer Harris her first chance to connect with Iowa's Democratic caucus-goers after her debut as a 2020 contender. While some of the other potential 2020 contenders like former Vice President Joe Biden and Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders have deeper roots in Iowa, Harris plans to compete both there and in New Hampshire. (California will begin mailing out ballots on February 3 next year, the same day as the Iowa caucus.)
