Democratic hopeful Pete Buttigieg declared victory in the Iowa caucuses in the early hours of Tuesday morning, despite a botched election process that delayed the release of the state's results.
"So, we don't know all the results," Buttigieg said in front of hundreds of supporters at a rally in Des Moines. "But, we know, by the time it is all said and done, Iowa you have shocked the nation. Because, by all indications, we are going on to New Hampshire victorious."
Other candidates, including Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., also projected confidence in their election night speeches, though Buttigieg went the furthest in predicting his own success. Roger Lau, the campaign manager for Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., told reporters only that according to the campaign's internal data it was a tight race between Warren, Buttigieg and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. Former Vice President lagged in fourth place, Lau said.
