The Brian Lehrer Show | May 27, 2015

The GOP presidential candidate field is getting pretty crowded -- even former New York Governor Pataki is planning to announce his run later this week. Eli Stokols, political reporter for POLITICO, discusses the latest in the 2016 race, including some of the candidates' views on criminal justice reform, and who might participate in this summer's first Republican presidential debate.
