MANCHESTER, N.H. ― Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) declared victory in the Iowa caucuses Thursday, even as the Democratic Party in the state was still rolling out the final results. Sanders conceded that he and Buttigieg both had a good showing there, and that ultimately, they will end up with approximately the same number of national delegates toward the nomination. The Iowa caucuses melted down this year. Sanders said the media was putting too much emphasis on the state delegate equivalents, arguing that number didn’t ultimately matter because the national delegates and popular vote were more important. Sanders also said he’d like to see changes to the Iowa caucuses for the next election cycle.
