Iowa Democratic Party chair on when full caucus results will come out: 'Today, tomorrow, the next day, a week, a month'

Will we actually have the full results of the Iowa caucuses before the New Hampshire primary?

The Iowa Democratic Party isn't providing much clarity on that. In a Tuesday call with the 2020 campaigns, officials only promised that more than half of the results of Monday's caucuses, which were delayed amid technical issues, will be released this afternoon, The Associated Press reports.

"We are going to release the majority of results that we have by 4 p.m. today," Iowa Democratic Party Chair Troy Price said. Price also told the campaigns "I don't want to put a number on it, but it's more than 50 percent of results" that will be released, BuzzFeed News reports.

The Iowa Democrats previously explained that a coding issue with the new app used to report results created these issues. The lengthy delay of any reported results stretched on as the Democratic candidates were already moving on to New Hampshire, which holds it primary in a week. Price reportedly provided no information on the call about when more results would come out following this afternoon's release.

"We're continuing to work through that process," he said, The Washington Post reports. "As soon as we can. Today, tomorrow, the next day, a week, a month." In a statement, the Iowa Democratic Party said, "we will continue to release results as we are able to."

BuzzFeed News reports that campaign aides expressed concern on the call that these results would be taken as the "final number," and the Post reports "a representative for the Buttigieg campaign sounded pleased, while a representative for the Biden campaign sounded frustrated."
