All precincts in Iowa have now reported results in the Iowa Democratic caucus, handing Hillary Clinton a narrow victory, according to results published by the Iowa Democratic Party.

Clinton received 49.8 percent support and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) received 49.6 percent support, according to the Iowa Democratic Party’s website.

Clinton was awarded 700.59 state delegate equivalents and Sanders was awarded 696.82 state delegate equivalents, according to a statement from the Iowa Democratic Party.

Clinton declared victory in the caucus early Tuesday morning when the party was still waiting for results from a final precinct.

Correction: The post originally reported incorrectly that Clinton received 48.9 percent support. She actually received 49.8 percent support.

Clarification: The Des Moines Register reported slightly different delegate totals. We’ve updated with the official tally from the Iowa Democratic Party.

    I guess TPM was watching MSNBC last night. SHE never claimed victory - Andrea Mitchell reported that she heard someone from her campaign staff did. In her speech she never claimed victory

    Congrats to Hillary.

  4. If there was anything at stake beyond media spin this election would be a candidate for a recount. Congratulations to both Hillary and Bernie. Ya done good.

  5. Even if Clinton won, it feels like a win for Bernie. He has done far better than most would have expected when he entered the race. If he wins New Hampshire, which is likely, it will be interesting to see how the coverage of the Democratic presidential race changes. Not taking anything away from Hillary though. She is still my preferred candidate and I think she pulls out the nomination in the long run.
