Iowa Democratic Party Releases
Partial Results of Chaotic Caucuses With 62% of precincts reporting,
the results of the Iowa caucuses
placed Pete Buttigieg in the lead. Following closely behind
Buttigieg is Vermont
Senator Bernie Sanders. Neck and neck for
third and fourth place are
Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden, respectively. Senator Amy Klobuchar
followed the candidates
in a distant fifth place. The partial results came after
a tense day of back and forth
between Iowa party leaders
and candidate campaign officials. The process had been delayed
due to reporting and tallying issues
related to the first caucuses of
the 2020 campaign season. An app — reportedly created
by the company Shadow Inc. and
implemented to report results— has
been blamed for a majority of the issues.
