With no official results in from Iowa, it looks like Mayor Pete Buttigieg is claiming victory in the caucuses. He took to twitter to announce a victory. Sort of.
Iowa, you have shocked the nation.
By all indications, we are going on to New Hampshire victorious. #IowaCaucuses

Tonight, an improbable hope became an undeniable reality. #IowaCaucuses

The skeptics said “not now.” “Not this time.” All this talk of “belonging,” of bridging divides, is too naive. Too risky.
So tonight I say—with a heart filled with gratitude—Iowa, you’ve proved those skeptics wrong. #IowaCaucuses

But then again, what does he consider a “victory?” 10%? 15%? Considering no official results have been reported, some are skeptical of his claims:
Did Pete Buttigieg just claim victory in Iowa when the results haven’t been announced yet?

So, just to clarify where we are at 12:25 am: Biden surrogates are saying maybe we can't trust any of the results and Buttigieg has just declared himself the winner. 2020 has begun.
