No Iowa caucus results sparks frustration among Democrats; Trump gloats

Live Mint  

Iowa: The Democratic Party's effort to choose an election challenger to Donald Trump got off to a chaotic start in Iowa, with officials blaming "inconsistencies" for an indefinite delay in the state's caucus results and the president gloating over his rivals' misfortune. Shortly after midnight, Iowa Democratic Party Chairman Troy Price told reporters to expect results later on Tuesday in the state, the first to hold a nominating contest. The party said it had to make "quality checks" after finding "inconsistencies" in the reporting of the data from caucus sites, sparking frustration among Democrats and criticism from Republicans. Buttigieg told his supporters in Iowa that "we don't know the results" but was looking ahead to the New Hampshire contest.
