In election news, Democratic officials in Iowa are continuing to release official results from Monday’s caucus. Senator Bernie Sanders and former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg are now in a virtual tie with 97% of precincts reporting. Sanders maintains a lead in the popular vote, but Buttigieg has a slight advantage in what’s known as the “state delegate equivalent” race. Buttigieg has 26.2% of state delegate equivalents; Sanders is at 26.1%. Democratic officials have attributed the chaos in Iowa to a newly created app built by a little-known firm called Shadow, which has ties to the Democratic establishment as well as the Buttigieg campaign. Democratic leaders in Iowa are facing widespread criticism over how they have handled the crisis. Meanwhile, the Bernie Sanders campaign has just announced that it raised $25 million in January.
