Tracking the largest field of presidential candidates in U.S. history, The Circus returns with all-new episodes, starting on Sunday, September 22.

Co-hosts John Heilemann, Alex Wagner, and Mark McKinnon will crisscross the country as an unprecedented cast of Democratic candidates barnstorm key states in their quests to face off against Donald Trump in 2020.

Meanwhile, the president is pursuing re-election amid a growing threat of impeachment and looming international crises.

Mark McKinnon is a political advisor, reform advocate, media columnist and television producer. He was the chief media adviser to five successful presidential primary and general election campaigns.
