DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Democratic Party officials in Iowa are working furiously to deliver the delayed results of their first-in-the-nation caucus. They say final results will be released sometime today (Tuesday). Frustrated presidential candidates are claiming momentum and plowing ahead in their White House quests. Technology problems and reporting “inconsistencies” kept party officials from releasing results from Monday’s caucus, the much-hyped kickoff to the 2020 primary.
Meantime, as Iowans and the rest of the nation wait for results on the Democratic caucuses, Team Trump was celebrating a symbolic win, with no significant opposition.
The Trump campaign sent 80 delegates to the Iowa Monday.
Campaign manager Brad Parscale talked to supporters in the Hawkeye State:
