Counting from Iowa is close to the finish line, and Buttigieg and Sanders are still closely vying for the top
Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders are running neck and neck in the Iowa caucuses with almost all of the votes counted.
Buttigieg insisted as early as Monday night that he was the clear victor, and he reportedly reassured supporters of that in a phone call on Wednesday. “While the delay to receive the official results from the Iowa Democratic Party is deeply frustrating , as of now Bernie Sanders is winning the popular vote in Iowa and is tied in projected national pledged delegates,” she wrote. “We are on the path to victory.”
“If Sen. Sanders is the nominee for the party, every Democrat in America up and down the ballot, in blue states, red states, purple states, easy districts and competitive ones, every Democrat will have to carry the label Sen. Sanders has chosen for himself,” Biden said. “He calls him — and I don’t criticize him — he calls himself a democratic socialist.”
“Only a state that is 90% white could fall for Pete’s empty claims to Obama’s achievements and legacy,” he added. “Bye, Iowa.” Halle had tweeted that Buttigieg’s “military experience and closing message from Iowa work everywhere especially in Nevada where it’s critical they see this on the air through the caucus.”
