Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Thursday that he 'won Iowa,' but that he is not a frontrunner in the Democratic race.
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders said he does not view himself as the frontrunner in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination during a CNN town hall held Thursday night in New Hampshire, although he does consider himself a winner in the Iowa caucus.
With only 97 percent of the results from the Iowa Democratic caucus released Thursday, Sanders and Buttigieg were virtually neck and neck for the lead. Sanders was only one-tenth of a percentage point behind Buttigieg, who held the lead with 26.2 percent. Both candidates were tied for the number of Iowa delegates won in the caucus with 11 apiece.
"I think we have an excellent chance to win here in New Hampshire," Sanders told moderator Anderson Cooper."We did very well. We won in Iowa. I think we are the strongest campaign to defeat the most dangerous president in modern American history." "It really did distress me," Sanders said about the incomplete Iowa tallies."I went all over the state of Iowa and the people there are really great people who take their responsibility of the first caucus in the country very, very seriously. It is really sad that the Democratic Party of Iowa, if I may say so, screwed up the counting process quite so badly."
