With a sliver of an edge over Bernie Sanders in the Iowa caucuses, Hillary Clinton took to the stage in front of her supporters on Monday evening to congratulate her "esteemed friends and opponents," marveling, "Wow, what a night. An unbelievable night." As Bernie Sanders came close to passing Clinton at various points in the vote counting, Clinton added that she is "breathing a big sigh of relief" even though an official winner has not yet been called.

"I am excited about really getting into the debate with Sen. Sanders about the best way forward," Clinton said.
