Buttigieg has a narrow lead in the Iowa caucus results as of late Wednesday, with 97% of precincts reporting. Buttigieg had 26.2% of State Delegate Equivalents, and Sanders was close behind with 26.1%. Warren remained in third place with 18.2%, Biden was in fourth with 15.8% and Klobuchar was in fifth with 12.2%.
The debate in New Hampshire comes after the Democratic National Committee announced it is changing the qualifications for candidates to participate in the Nevada presidential primary debate, including eliminating the unique-donor threshold, paving the way for billionaire Mike Bloomberg to potentially qualify for future presidential debates.
