Dems campaign despite bumpy election start

There is still no winner to Monday’s Iowa caucus after a coding error on the app used to count votes resulted in massive delays in the process. However, partial results already contain surprises as Mayor Pete Buttigieg holds a tight lead in first place just ahead of Senator Bernie Sanders. With just 71% of precincts reporting, Democrats hope to have a clearer picture soon. Ed O’Keefe reports from New Hampshire where the 2020 candidates are already campaigning for the next primary.

Iowa caucus ends in near tie

Iowa Democrats say they have finally reported all the results from Monday's caucus, but the count is too close for CBS News to call a winner. The final delegate count shows Pete Buttigieg and Senator Bernie Sanders essentially tied for first place, with both candidates claiming victory. However, there is no telling if the DNC chair’s call for a recount would produce any clarity. Ed O’Keefe is in New Hampshire where candidates are focused on the next primary.

Many NH primary voters are still undecided

Election watchers are tensely waiting to see how New Hampshire’s primary will play out after the mess surrounding the previous week’s Iowa caucus. CBS News’ latest numbers show less than half of likely Democratic voters have made up their minds, meaning Pete Buttigieg, who left Iowa with momentum, could swing uncommitted voters and inch past Bernie Sanders, who would benefit from a high turnout due to his enthusiastic base. Ed O’Keefe is at a polling station where early morning voters will begin deciding the candidates’ fates.
