The Iowa Democratic Party said Sunday that in the Feb. 3 caucuses, Buttigieg, a former South Bend, Indiana, mayor, finished with 26.2% of state delegate equivalents, the traditional way of measuring victory in the event. Sanders, a socialist Vermont senator, was just behind with 26.1%. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren came in third with 18%, and former Vice President Joe Biden was fourth at 15.8%.
