UPDATE: Buttigieg holds slim lead over Sanders after new wave of Iowa results released
Former mayor Pete Buttigieg held a narrow lead over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders after the release Tuesday of a fresh wave of results from the Iowa Democratic caucuses.
The partial results showed Buttigieg with 26.8% of state delegate equivalents. Sanders had 25.2% followed by Warren with 18.4%, Biden with 15.4% and Klobuchar with 12.6%. "I've said this entire time that we’re going to have to evaluate after this primary is done … the debate thresholds, the order of the states, the caucus versus primary," said former housing secretary Julián Castro, a surrogate for Warren's campaign."What happened made the argument for itself. Nobody can deny this is a broken way to do it. It was a total mess."
While speaking at an event in Laconia, New Hampshire, Buttigieg choked up after speaking about the preliminary results. “We want to thank the people of Iowa. We are gratified that in the partial data released so far it’s clear that in the first and second round more people voted for Bernie than any other candidate in the field," Weaver said in a statement.
