Partial Iowa Caucus Results Show Tight Race Between Buttigieg, Sanders

VOA News

   The former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, Pete Buttigieg and Vermont
   Senator Bernie Sanders are running almost neck-and-neck in the Iowa
   Democratic caucus, according to partial results that follow a night of
   chaos and confusion.

   With 41 delegates up for grabs, Buttigieg has a slight lead over
   Sanders, followed by Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, former
   Vice President Joe Biden and Minnesota Senator Amy Klobouchar. Six
   other candidates trail far behind the front-runners.

   But these results are from 62% of the precincts. It is unclear when the
   remaining 38% will be reported and there is still a chance for a few
   surprises.

   Buttigieg told backers in New Hampshire that although the final results
   in Iowa are uncertain, what is known so far is an "astonishing
   victory."
