Iowa caucuses: Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders take lead - BBC News

Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders are leading in the first vote to choose the Democratic candidate to run against President Donald Trump in November's election.

The vote in Iowa has been chaotic, beset by technical problems and delays in reporting results.

Iowa's Democratic Party said data from 71% of precincts showed Mr Buttigieg on 26.8%, with Mr Sanders on 25.2%.

Elizabeth Warren was third on 18.4% and Joe Biden fourth on 15.4%.

oh the guy that invested in the app that was used ended up winning? weird

[AlexSmith-grhp]

The guy that funded the voting app yet has no visible support won? Gee, shock.

[JaYoeNation]

Bernie sanders did relatively well... so “relatively well” means they got the popular vote and more people wanted him to win Iowa? Is that it?

0:16 34 years old? He's 38 and you have to be at least 35 to run for president in the US

The lack of focus on Bernie compared to Pete is insanely obvious. Biases.

Bernie Sanders got the popular vote. Pete funded the app company, Shadow.

It's been 2 days, and they're still delaying... This is crazy.

I'd say winning the most votes is better than "relatively well"

[gregoriusmike]

Bernie is winning the popular vote. Why hasn't he been featured. He's not doing "relatively well". He's leading imo.

[jeffmcclure]

This is very disturbing .. His investments in this app company is paying off.

[amekaaz]
