Bernie Sanders had to at the support to see them beaten by 0.1 percentage point of the reamer Pete Buttigieg.

Thus ran the 38-year-old eksborgmester with 14 delegates from the state, while Sanders had 12. Most importantly, however, it was for Buttigieg that he could declare himself as the victor, while Sanders may have to settle with second place.

even before the final results from Iowa were published, rejected Bernie Sanders, that he would require a genoptælling in the state.
