DES MOINES, Iowa (CBSMiami/AP) — Hillary Clinton narrowly won the Democratic Iowa caucuses after a strong challenge from Bernie Sanders - claiming the first victory in the race for the White House.

The former secretary of state, senator from New York and first lady edged past the Vermont senator in a race the Iowa Democratic Party called the closest in its caucus history.

The Iowa Democratic Party said Tuesday that it would not do any recount of the close results, and a spokesman for the Sanders campaign said it does not intend to challenge the results of the caucuses.
