“The Senators will discuss Hillary Clinton鈥檚 commitment to moving America forward by guaranteeing women鈥檚 right to make their own healthcare choices,” the campaign adds.

The Iowa Caucus is Feb. 1. Clinton’s opponents are Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Martin O’Malley, the former governor of Maryland.
