Iowa caucuses: Buttigieg, Sanders nearly tied in state delegates
With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Pete Buttigieg has retained his narrow lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the Iowa caucuses.
The former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, has 26.198 percent of state delegate equivalents, while Sanders has 26.128 percent. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) came in third with 17.98 percent, followed by former Vice President Joe Biden with 15.85 percent and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) with 12.27 percent. The results of the first-in-the-nation caucuses were released late Thursday.
The caucuses were held on Monday, but the results were delayed due to inconsistencies with the numbers and issues with the app used to report results. Earlier on Thursday, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez said there should be a recanvass "in order to assure public confidence in the results." A recanvass means the numbers released by the Iowa Democratic Party would be checked against the results recorded at caucus sites, and the candidates have until 1 p.m. ET Friday to file a request.
