Five days after the doors closed on the Iowa caucuses, 100% of precincts have finally posted their polling, and the results are in. With 14 national delegates, Pete Buttigieg won the first state in the Democratic presidential primary season, followed by Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders with 12 delegates, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren with eight, Joe Biden with six, and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar with just one.
As a matter of absolute importance, Iowa comprises a mere 1% of national delegates. But there’s no question that the state determines donation flows and the media narrative the masses follow, and Buttigieg’s vindication may just pave his way to dominate New Hampshire.
