So many different ways to read this, but all good for Mayor Pete, especially given the history of an outsider launched to nominee by Iowa
That said, Biden will point to the unusual nature of caucuses, wdich on the Dems side in Iowa are predominately young people. To the Biden camp that is a reason to discount both Bernie and Mayor Pete's success.
"Pete Buttigieg was clinging to the narrowest of leads in Iowa over Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., on Thursday, with 97 percent of the caucus vote released.
Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, was at 26.2 percent and Sanders had 26 percent, with Warren running behind the pair of leaders at 18.2 percent. Former vice president Joe Biden had 15.8 percent, Sen. Amy Klobuchar at 12.2 percent and other candidates were in low single digits."
