On Super Tuesday, a dozen states (not including Indiana) and one territory will go to the polls in the Republican and Democratic primaries. The day is considered key to winnowing the field of candidates.

"March 1 will be a decisive day in the Democratic and Republican presidential primaries, and we'll have it covered," said Josh Scacco, an assistant professor in the Brian Lamb School of Communication., in a statement.

Scacco, who specializes in political communication, will interview Heffner at 6:45 p.m. Then Daniels will join Heffner for a panel discussion at 7 p.m.

A faculty panel will take place at 7:30 p.m.

Questions for the panelists can be tweeted @LambSchool or @PurdueHonors.
